My bin has been stolen
Most bin thefts happen on collection day, after bins have been emptied. You can avoid your bin being stolen by taking it back in as soon as possible after collection or, if you can’t, ask a neighbour to bring it back in for you.
If your bin is stolen, we would advise to wait until your next collection day to see if your bin is put back out and then reclaim it.
If you know who has taken it, let us know so we can help you get it back, please call us:
- Phone: 0161 770 6644
If you don’t know who has taken it and it doesn’t turn up on collection day, then unfortunately you will have to order a replacement bin.

I need an extra bin for all my rubbish
You may be entitled to extra gery bins if:
- there are five or more people in your house

- you have two or more children in nappies
- you live in a house that has been converted into flats and there isn't a bin for each flat
If you meet one or more of these conditions you can apply for an assessment for an extra grey bin.

If you don’t meet one of these conditions, sorry but you can’t order an extra bin.
