Repairing or replacing a damaged bin

If you want to repair or replace your damaged bin, you can lodge a request using our online self-service portal:

Lodge a request to repair or replace your damaged bin

After you have lodged the request:

  • place the bin upside down on public land
  • ensure the bin does not block the footpath or road
  • write the reference number onto the bin or onto a piece of paper attached to the bin

Bins can only be replaced with the same size bin as you currently have. If you would like to replace your damaged bin with a larger or smaller sized bin, please see our page on changing the size of your bin.

Bin replacements for damaged bins are free of charge (up to three per property), as listed in our fees and charges.
