Request new containers or bags
You can request a standard wheelie bin, recycling box, bags or food waste caddy here:
Containers and bags are not available from Garth Road Household Reuse and Recycling Centre or any other location.
If you live in a large block of flats and need a replacement communal (shared) bin, your managing agent will need buy or hire these privately by contacting the commercial waste service. If you're not sure whether or not you have communal bins, fill in the form above to find out.
Replace your wheelie bin with a larger one
Our standard wheelie bins are 180 litres. Some households can get a larger, 240 litre wheelie bin. You can ask us to remove your 180 litre wheelie bin and replace it with a large one here:
Clinical waste
We offer a clinical waste collection service for residents and businesses.
Returning containers
If you have too many of the same type of wheelie bin, recycling box or caddy, you can ask us to remove them.

There is a charge for using our garden waste service.
