Report a missed bin

If your bin hasn't been collected you can report a missed bin online in the area you live in.

Before you report to us

Before you report a missed bin check whether:

  • it was put out on the right day, find your bin collection day
  • it was placed at the kerbside and could be clearly seen
  • it contained the correct items
  • the crew haven’t put a sticker on your bin explaining why it was not emptied
  • the lid was closed – if the bin is so full that the bin does not close properly it will not be collected
  • there are any known issues with your service
