Please wait until 5.30pm on your collection day to report a missed collection.

We collect over 200,000 bins across the districts every week. Sometimes, collections can be delayed due to dustcart breakdowns, severe weather, or crew sickness. Or, bins can not be accessed because of roadworks or parked cars.

Delayed collections

The table below lists any known delays to our collection services. We update this table every working day.

If your road/area is listed, it means that we are already aware that you haven't had a collection. Therefore, please do not report a missed collection.

Instead, continue to leave your bin out. We will empty it as soon as possible.

Service up to date

Report a missed collection

We are unable to make a return if:

  • our bin collection guidance was not followed - for example, if the bin was not out by 6.00am, or the wrong bin was put out
  • the bin contained non-accepted items
  • black sacks left by the bin were not taken
  • the bin has been refilled
  • the bin was only partially emptied - please make sure no items are lodged, or stuck in the bin, so it can be fully emptied next time
Please note that crews will log if there was a reason why they couldn't empty a bin. Dustcart camera footage may be viewed to check if the collection was actually missed, or whether the bin was out, before a return can be made.

Missed collections must be reported to us within two working days of it being missed.

Report a missed collection

Once you've submitted your report, please continue to leave your bin out and we will aim to make a return within five working days.

We will only contact you if we need further information, or the crew recorded a reason as to why the bin was not emptied.
