Requesting a rubbish bin

You can request:

  • a new rubbish bin if your bin is lost or damaged (for any replacement bins required by your household, we reserve the right to charge a £10 admin fee)
  • an extra rubbish bin if you need more bin space and your household is eligible 

You’re only eligible for an extra rubbish bin if your household either:

  • has 5 or more people
  • uses children’s nappies
  • needs an extra bin for medical or hygiene reasons – for example, you use large amounts of sanitary items

If you request an extra rubbish bin, we’ll visit your property to check that you’re recycling as much as possible before providing an extra bin.

If you need a smaller rubbish bin, email recycling@hackney.gov.uk.
