Request extra wheeled bins
To qualify for an additional bin, there must be either:
- six or more permanent residents in the household, or
- five or more permanent residents including a nappy need
Any bins allocated should be returned when:
- the number of residents in the household reduces, or
- nappies are no longer required
Apply for an extra wheeled bin
If you require an extra black bin for clinical needs, please read our clinical or hazardous waste information.
Extra recycling can be placed beside your green bin if it is in a cardboard box or paper bag, meaning you may not require an extra green bin. Always ensure that glass bottles and glass jars are placed in your green bin rather than in a box or bag beside the green bin. For health and safety reasons, we will only collect glass items that are within your green bin. Please do not place extra recycling in black sacks or carrier bags, as they will not be collected.
If you constantly have lots of extra recycling, please contact Customer Services for advice.
Any extra bins that we issue will be subject to a regular review. If we inspect an extra black bin and it contains any items that should be in the recycling bin, we reserve the right to remove your extra bin without further notice.
If it is reported that your property has extra wheeled bins and we do not hold your application on our database, we may collect any spare bins at our discretion.
If you have any questions, please contact the Recycling Team at Great Yarmouth Services Ltd.
