Administrative fee for waste and recycling containers
On 29 February 2024, the Budget Council approved the introduction of an administrative fee of £18, which will apply to all requests for new and replacement domestic waste and recycling containers, excluding food waste caddies. The fee will be introduced on 8 May 2024.
The council has continued to provide waste and recycling containers free for as long as possible, but this is no longer sustainable given the economic pressures that the council is facing. Charging an administrative fee for containers will alleviate some of the financial burden on the council and encourage residents to maximise the lifespan of the containers.
You can find more information about the fee and frequently asked questions.
Collect your old or damaged bin
You can also request a collection of your old or damaged bin when you order a replacement.
Make sure you leave your bin available at the front of the property for the crew to collect. We aim for this to be the same day as we deliver your new bin, but it could be a different day within 20 working days.

Track your request
You can now track your bin request and get a specific date for delivery and collection. We’ll send you more information in your confirmation email, or you can enter your postcode to track your request.
How long it will take
We aim to deliver bins within 10 working days of your request. However, due to the current high demand, bins may take around 20 working days to be delivered. We will update this page as soon as it changes.
You do not need to be at home for the delivery or removal of bins. The delivery staff will not make contact during the process.
Compostable bags
We do not provide free compostable bags to use in your food waste bin. You can buy compostable bags from supermarkets or from any of our libraries.
Communal bins
If you live in a block of flats with communal bins, you cannot order replacement bins online.
You’ll need to contact your landlord, managing agent, housing officer or residents’ association.
Builders, developers and landlords
Property managers are responsible for providing any new or replacement communal recycling and waste bins.
You will need to make note of your current bin type and available space before obtaining a quote from the supplier. Further information on requirements for bin types, sizes and dimensions can be found in Kingston’s Recycling and Waste Technical Planning Guidance document.
