- Replace damaged or lost bins if paid for by the customer.
- Provide those customers who have paid the annual charge with coloured stickers to attach to their bins as proof of payment. (The Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note must be returned along with payment before coloured stickers can be issued and attached to the bin as proof of payment)
- Provide the service twice a week, on Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday.
- Empty wheeled bins, which have been left at the kerbside or other designated collection point and return them to the collection point.
