Your old bin

We will let you as a customer keep your old bin, to use it for something other than rubbish. Can you come up with a good idea? You could use it as a pellet store, a rack for your skis or maybe to compost leaves?

You probably have some ideas of your own, and we hope that the bins will be put to good use in lots of ways! The fact that we don’t have to collect, dismantle, transport and melt down the old bins is a benefit to the environment.

The old bin can be taken out of use when you start using the new one. It is extremely important that the old bin is never used for waste again once you’ve starting to use the new one. The old bin will not be emptied by the waste collection truck.

If you don’t want to keep your bin, you can take it to one of our recycling centres or request collection of the bin during the Bulky Waste Collection process that will take place in autumn 2024.
