What happens if the bin is damaged or stolen?
If a bin is damaged or stolen through no fault of the householder the Council will, at its discretion, provide a free replacement. When a bin is stolen, you will need to report this to the Police and obtain a Police Crime Reference number before we can provide a replacement. If we believe a bin has been misused, damaged or lost by a householder the council will charge the householder for a replacement. Even when a charge is paid by the householder, the bin remains the property of the Council.
