We will also send you updated stickers for your bins to reflect your new address and details and an updated collection schedule if required.

22. I feel other people may be putting rubbish into my bins.  What can I do?

Unfortunately, on occasion, third-parties have been found to be putting rubbish into bins that are not their own. This is illegal, as all people must have proof of a refuse collection or waste disposal service. As we recommend bins be out from 7am the morning of collection (and the night before on Bank Holidays Saturday collections), the bin can unavoidably be left unattended for several hours. Many customers experiencing this problem use Gravity Locks. These are key-only bin locks that release when the bin is lifted and upturned by the truck. Unfortunately we do not provide these locks, but a quick internet search or check in the Golden Pages should provide a list of vendors.
