There are two sizes of general waste wheeled bins:
- The standard 240 litre bin
- Or a smaller 140 litre bin (which is the same size as your brown or burgundy bin).
Householders can exchange their standard 240 litre wheeled bin (whatever its condition) for a new smaller 140 litre wheeled bin free of charge.
Your existing standard bin will be removed when the new bin is delivered. Once exchanged, if householders wish to exchange their smaller 140 litre bin back to a larger standard bin there will be a charge of £30.60.
If you wish to exchange your standard general waste wheeled bin for a smaller size, please use our online Smaller general waste and/or larger recycling bins form.

If you downsize your general waste bin you can also have a larger recycling bin. Please see our larger recycling bins page for further details.
