Larger Bin Request

Households of 6+ occupants can submit a request for a larger wheeled bin using this form.

Larger bin requests entail an officer visit on collection day to check all recycling containers are being used correctly and presented ready for collection. Any recyclable waste found in the black bin will cancel the application.

Flintshire County Council supports residents in managing their waste, however we cannot offer larger bins to residents that do not regularly present their recycling for collection, as this would not be fair for most residents who do separate and recycle their household waste.

Before applying for a larger bin, please ensure that you are fully utilising our kerbside recycling services:

Blue Bag

Paper and card (blue bag)

Grey Sack

Metals, plastics and cartons (white / grey sack)

Blue Box

Glass bottles and jars (blue box)

Green Bin

Food waste (silver and green caddy)

Brown Bin

Garden waste (brown bin)

Orange Tub

If applicable; Absorbent Hygiene Products (Nappies) (orange box)

Residents can have as many recycling boxes / bags as they require to ensure all recyclable waste is able to be placed out for collection

Request recycling items

If you are doing all that you can to minimise your household waste and recycle as much as you can, but still feel that a larger bin is required, please apply below.
