If you are within the urban boundary and require special needs collections, such as for nappies or medical waste, you can apply to the Council for an additional weekly red-lid general waste bin collection. We’ll ask you for relevant documentation to support your request.

A weekly red bin collection is available for households managing nappies or medical waste.

• For nappies, the service is free until the youngest child reaches four years old.
• Medical waste services are free for the duration of the medical condition, with appropriate documentation required.
• Approved services are reviewed annually.

Approved Special Needs Weekly Waste Collection services are reviewed annually in January to ensure the requirements for the service, as set out in our Waste Services Policy(PDF, 4MB) are still being met. 

Please fill in the below form if you require a weekly waste service for the disposal of nappies or medical waste.
