Help putting your bin out if you have mobility problems
We offer an assisted collection service for residents who are unable to move their bins out to the kerbside because of mobility issues and in certain other circumstances.
If you are eligible, we will collect all your bins due to be emptied and return to the agreed collection point provided you have not locked them behind any gates.
