Bin types and delivery
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When are my new recycling bins/boxes going to be delivered? |
Deliveries of the new recycling wheeled bins and/or boxes will begin in February 2026 and will take around 14 weeks to complete. While we can’t give exact delivery dates yet, we aim to share estimated delivery times for each area in the New Year. |
| What size will the additional wheeled bins be? |
Residents who received the standard waste collection service (those with space for two new wheeled recycling bins) will receive 2x 240L wheeled bins. The exact dimensions are yet to be confirmed. For those who receive a non-standard waste collection service, for each wheeled bin that is replaced by boxes, 4 boxes will be provided to ensure the same capacity is available to households. |
| Will the new recycling bins/boxes be made of recycled plastic? |
As part of our procurement process for the new recycling bins and boxes we are seeking to achieve a level of recycled content within the new bins. At this time, we cannot confirm the exact recycled content amount until this process has concluded. |
|
If a resident has a wheeled bin that they no longer use, can it be collected by the Council to make space for the new bins? |
The Council will be reviewing this and share more information in due course. |
