Important service information
How you log a missed bin has changed. It is now through our Waste and Recycling Portal.
You will need to set up an account in the Waste and Recycling Portal to log a missed bin.
Please follow the on-screen instructions in the portal.
We advise you to check our Video guide to report a missed bin. There are some Waste and Recyclling Portal guidance you can check too.
Find out why your bin may have not been collected and measures you can take to make sure it is collected next time.
Make sure your bin lid is closed
If your bin is overfilled, remove items until the lid stays shut.
Place your bin in an easily accessible location
Your bin should be clearly visible, placed by the pavement but not causing any obstruction to pedestrians or cars. The bins should be placed with the handles towards the road.
Check your collection day
Bins should be ready to collect by 6am on your bin collection day.
If there is a flyer hanging on your bin handle, remove incorrect items
If you find your bin has a flyer or leaflet hanging from its handle, this means there are wrong items inside it. Check which items are allowed to go inside your bin, and then remove any items not listed.
Remove heavy items from your bin
Bins weighing over 30kg will not be collected for health and safety reasons. If the bin is too heavy for you to move easily, you may need to remove some items to lighten it.
Remove excess rubbish
If there is excess rubbish by the side or on top of the bin, it will not be collected. Please take excess rubbish to the Chalvey Household Waste Recycling Centre.
Use a council issued bin
We only collect bins issued by us, Slough Borough Council. If you are using a different bin not listed here your rubbish will not be collected.
Reporting a missed general, recycling, or green waste bin collection
If you believe your bin collection was missed rather than rejected, you can report this.
You can report a missed general, recycling, or green waste bin collection through the Waste and Recycling Portal after 7pm on the date of collection. You will need to:
- Log in to your Waste and Recycling Portal account. You will need to create an account if you have not already done so.
- On the calendar, click on the bin you would like to report as missed and you will find an option to report it.
We advise you to check our Video guide to report a missed bin.
Report a missed red, grey or green bin collection
Report a missed communal bin or food waste collection
If you have already reported a missed bin, you do not need to report it again. Instead, please leave it out for the next scheduled collection.
