The assisted bin collection service is free and is available to residents in the district if you can't put your bins out for collection yourself.
This service is applicable for recycling, rubbish and garden waste collections (if subscribed).
We can pick up your bins from an agreed location on your property and return them when we're done. Leave your bins somewhere convenient for you and easy for the collection crew to get to. On the collection day, you'll have to leave the gates unlocked (if applicable) so the crew can get to it. That can be directly outside your front door or by side door.
Let us know how long you need the service for. It can be 'temporary' period of time, like if you're injured or recovering from an operation, or 'permanent' amount of time, but we'll occasionally get in touch with you to make sure our records are right and to see if you're still interested in our bin collection service.
You can fill out this form on behalf of resident, but you'll need to provide the name and address of the person.
This service is strictly for residents who are:
- elderly
- disabled
- recovering from short or long term illness
- one of the above with no access to carer, friend, relative or neighbour (aged over 16) to put your bins out
In the event you don't meet the criteria, we may withdraw the service or reject your application.
This service is not available for residents that use communal bin stores.
