We are aware of an increase in enquiries coming in regarding the Bin Day Finder not working on customers mobile phones. We have been in touch with ICT regarding this issue and they have provided an explanation, see below.
At the moment ICT are working to move Bin Day Finder to another server, and unfortunately they don’t have a target completion date for this. This work means that not all mobile devices will be able to access this webpage due to their default device settings. Once this work has been done the webpage will work on all devices. In the meantime (this isn’t a sure fix for all but it will work for some devices), users on mobile can manually change the website URL at the top bar to say “http” at the start instead of “https”, and this will help in some instances. In any case, it’s best to use a laptop or PC where available so that this isn’t an issue.
In instances of customers phoning/emailing about this issue please advise as best you can and provide them with their bin day over the phone. We will notify you as soon as ICT have completed their work.
Update 28/11/2023: Please be advised that ICT have now completed the work for this webpage and customers should now have no issues accessing it from a mobile device. Any continuing issues should be passed via your Senior.

We’re running low on 240 litre blue & purple bins – what we do have are being kept for New Build properties.
Householders that call in to exchange their recycling bins from 140 litres to 240 litres will be given additional 140 litres instead – can you check with callers that this is acceptable, if not and they are willing to wait until we get more stock, please include on the enquiry “when stock becomes available”.
If Andrew Kelly calls (1514 pick up) please advise him that the driver will be late for him after taking time to look for another customer but he is on his way, should Andrew call.
