Replace, exchange or return your garden waste bin

Replace your bin

You can apply for a replacement bin if it has been damaged, lost or stolen.

Exchange your bin

If you currently have a small garden waste bin, you can exchange it for a standard sized garden waste bin free of charge. The standard size bin is the same size as your recycling bin. This mainly applies to residents in the former Easington and Wear Valley council areas. You must already be subscribed to the scheme for at least the number of bins that you want to receive.

Return your bin

Contact us to arrange for us to collect your bin from your property. Please place it at your collection point on the agreed collection date. Please note, if you decide at a later date to join the garden waste scheme, and need a bin, there will be a charge for a replacement bin.
