Request bins

Request new or replacement bins

We will 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.

Collecting old or damaged bins

If you’ve requested a collection of your old bin, we’ll schedule a specific date for our crew to remove it. We aim for this to be the same day as we deliver your new bin, but it could be a different day.

Extra or different size black rubbish bin

Most households can only have 1 black rubbish bin. Only households of 5 or more people are eligible to request a bigger or additional black bin.

Request a larger, smaller or additional black rubbish bin

Sacks

If you get a sack collection from your home, call 020 8547 5002 to order new sacks.

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.

Please make a note of the bin type at your property and available space for the purpose of 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.

Kingston’s current waste collections partner, Veolia, can provide new and replacement containers - uk.slwpcommunalbins@veolia.com.  Alternatively, search for an alternative supplier online.

If you are in the process of building a new major development of 10 or more units and, having read Kingston’s Recycling and Waste Technical Planning Guidance document, you still have queries with regard to your required bin provision, please contact the Council’s Customer Contact Centre.
