What happens to your bins when you move

Black waste and green recycling bins are the property of the Council. If you move home, you should ensure that one black waste and one green recycling bin are left at the property. Please do not fill the bins up with the incorrect items when you leave.

Your brown bin is your property and may be taken with you when you move. If you move to another property within the borough, you need to let us know, otherwise your brown bin will not be emptied.

• contact Customer Services about moving your brown bins to another address

If you have ordered additional wheeled bins, you may take these with you to your new home. If you do not let us know of your move, your extra bins will not be emptied. If your household has changed and you are no longer entitled to the extra capacity, please let us know so that we can arrange for the spare bin to be collected.

• contact Customer Services about moving your extra wheeled bins to another address

If you have recently moved to a property within the borough and the bins have been removed, you can order new bins online or call Customer Services.

Please note there will be an administration charge of £84.00 for this service.
