If you meet the requirements listed below, you might be able to request a smaller or larger bin.
If your request is approved, we will be in touch within five business days to schedule the delivery of your new bin and retrieval of your old bin.
All bin size change requests will be responded to as soon as possible, however, delays may occur in times of high demand.
Bin upsize
If you need more room for your recycling or glass collections, you can request a larger sized bin free of charge:
- 120-litre or 240-litre glass bin
- 240-litre recycling bin
- 660-litre or 1100-litre recycling bin (multi-unit developments/apartment blocks only)
When applying for this, please advise the reason that you require the larger sized recycling or glass bin, and we will advise in due course if your application has been successful.
Request a bin upsize
You can request a larger rubbish bin on a temporary basis if one or more of the following criteria applies to you:
- Six or more people permanently residing in one house
- Multiple children in nappies
- A person with a medical condition which results in additional waste
If you meet these criteria, please complete our online form to request a bin upsize. You will need to provide supporting evidence. All temporary rubbish bin upgrades are reviewed on a yearly basis.
Bin sharing
Bin sharing between neighbours is a great idea to save space. Please have a friendly chat to your neighbour to discuss bin sharing.
Note: If you're sharing with a neighbour and need a larger bin, please read the bin upsize information on this page.
If you’ve decided to share a bin with a neighbour, you can submit a bin retrieval request.
REQUEST BIN RETRIEVAL
New bins, repairs and replacements
You can also order a new bin, or ask us to repair or replace your bins.
Commercial properties
Commercial properties can request a larger bin for glass and mixed recycling if they are being used for staff kitchen and bathroom waste only, not waste generated from business activities.
If your rubbish bin is damaged or stolen it will be replaced with an 80-litre rubbish bin in accordance with our policy to encourage recycling.
