Order a bigger grey bin (general waste)

If you're regularly generating more waste than can fit into your grey bin, you can apply for a bigger grey bin.

If you apply, we'll look at why you need a bigger bin. Valid reasons for needing a bigger grey bin could include if you have more than 1 child using disposable nappies or there are 5 or more permanent residents in your home. You'll need to demonstrate that you're fully using our recycling services to qualify for a bigger grey bin.

For most bin changes, you'll need to pay the full price for each bin, depending on its size. However, you'll only need to pay £26.25, not the standard price, if you're changing from a 240 litre grey bin to a 360 litre grey bin. You will not have to pay the £26.25 charge if you receive a full (100%) Council Tax Reduction or if you receive a council tax discount or exemption for a person with a severe mental impairment.

Phone us on 0300 300 0300 if you want to switch from a 140 litre (small) bin to a 240 litre (standard) bin.

Apply online if you want to switch from a 240 litre (standard) bin to a 360 litre (large) bin.

Apply for a 360 litre bin
