Report a damaged or missing bin

If your bin lid is damaged we may be able to repair it (for free).

When reporting a damaged bin please leave it accessible so the repair can be carried out.

If your bin is more seriously damaged or is lost or stolen you will need to request a replacement which may be chargeable. 

Requesting new or replacement green boxes

If you would like to request a new, replacement or additional green box for recycling glass you can now do so using the appropriate button at the top of this page. You can request this service if:

  • you are about to move or have moved into a house that does not have a green box 
  • your box has been damaged, lost or stolen
  • you regularly have a large amount of glass bottles and jars suitable for our kerbside recycling service

There is currently no charge for additional, replacement, damaged, lost or stolen boxes. All boxes remain the property of the council.

New and replacement bins are chargeable in accordance with the council’s Fees and Charges policy. Prices are set annually by a meeting of full council.

The current cost for a new or replacement bin is £23.

Blue bins remain free of charge.

The charge for a new or replacement bin is set to cover the costs of administration and delivery. The wheeled bin remains the property of the council.
