Waste and recycling collection services in flats may be different to the service provided to houses. Some flats will have communal (shared) bins similar to those outlined below:
- large general non-recyclable waste bin (1100L euro bin)
- large dry mixed recycling bin (1100L euro bin)
- large paper & card wheelie bin (360L black wheelie bin with blue lid)
- large food waste wheelie bin (240L brown wheelie bin)
Bin orders for flats with communal facilities
Communal waste and recycling bins cannot be ordered online; if you would like to order a new or replacement container, please speak with your managing agent, landlord, housing officer or residents' association. Managing agents and/or residents' associations are responsible for providing these new and replacement communal waste and recycling bins for residents that live in purpose-built flats.
Please make note of the bin type required at your property and available space for the purpose of obtaining a quote from a supplier.
We do not supply communal bins; your managing agent/representative is required to purchase them from a private supplier of their choice. Sutton's current waste collections partner, Veolia, can provide a quote for new and/or replacement containers and quotes can be requested by email at uk.veolia.waste.slwpcommunalbins.mailbox@veolia.com. Alternatively, you may wish to use your own supplier.
Further information can be found in Sutton's Waste provision planning guidance for developers, architects, and managing agents.
