- new brown garden waste bins are £40 (only available if you are a current subscriber)

Request an additional bin
Requests for additional bins are currently on hold, due to temporary staff shortage. We are prioritising requests for new bins where a property has none. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Can I buy my own bin?
If you want to purchase your own bin independently of the council, then it must be:
- a wheeled bin
- compliant with the EN 840 standard
- either 140 litre or 240 litre capacity
- the correct colour for the type of waste that it will contain
If your bin does not meet this criteria, then it will not be emptied by the council.
