Why does the council refuse to collect my bin?
-
Late placement: Left out after the cut-off time (e.g., after 6 am).
-
Overfilled or overweight bins.
-
Contamination: Wrong items in recycling or refuse.
-
Inaccessibility: Blocked by vehicles or obstructions
What if the council says the bin is too heavy?
Councils refuse overly heavy bins to prevent injury or damage. Remove the heaviest items and the bin should be emptied on the next collection day
The council won’t collect my bulky waste—what can I do?
Bulky item collections—like furniture or white goods—often cost £20–£40, and councils usually only collect from outside your home - If your council refuses: check if you've paid the fee, booked correctly, and placed items outside before the scheduled time.
My council refused to pick up a sofa or mattress is this normal?
Yes—councils often exclude certain items unless explicitly booked under bulky waste. Many require you to book and pay, and will refuse unarranged items like sofas or mattresses left out for general collection
