This is a one off payment, all replacement containers and additional recycling containers will be supplied free of charge.
Before ordering your new build property containers, please check that your developer or Housing association has not already made arrangements for the containers to be delivered to the property in advance of you moving in.

You should also have access to a communal rubbish and recycling area where you can empty your containers into larger bins and also dispose of any other household rubbish – for more information about the communal facilities please speak to your landlord, housing association or site office.

Monitoring collections
On occasion, we undertake random monitoring of waste collection services throughout the borough. Occasionally we may come across a property where there are two standard 180 litre or 240 litre red top bins. In these circumstances we would usually contact the occupier in writing, giving them notice that, in except in exceptional circumstances, we will remove the second bin.
