What the service is
If you're regularly generating more waste than can fit into your grey bin, you can apply for a larger grey bin.
Who can apply
If you apply, we'll look at why you need a larger bin. Valid reasons for needing a larger 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 larger grey bin.
How much it costs
The price for a bin depends on its size.
- 140 litre bin (small): £47.50
- 240 litre bin (standard): £59.10
- 360 litre bin (large): £118.15
- 1,100 litre bin (communal): £428.35
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.
