Damaged bins

If your garbage (red lid), recycling (yellow lid) or green waste (green lid) bin is damaged, let us know so we can repair or organise a replacement.

We will replace damaged or missing bin lids, lid pins, wheels or wheel axles at no cost.

If your bin is damaged beyond repair you may need to purchase a new one.

  • All new bins come with a 5 year warranty. If your bin is damaged beyond repair during this time we will organise a replacement.
  • If your garbage or green waste bin is over 5 years old and has been damaged beyond repair, you will need to purchase a new bin. You can purchase a new bin here.
