We’ve probably all had that moment: you look down the road and suddenly notice everyone else’s bins are outside.
Is collection tomorrow? Have I missed it? And which bin is it this week?
We’ve probably all had that moment: you look down the road and suddenly notice everyone else’s bins are outside.
Fortunately, finding your next Sutton bin collection day takes only a couple of minutes.
How do I check my Sutton bin collection day?
Sutton Council has an online service that lets residents check when their rubbish, recycling, food waste, and garden waste will be collected next.
Check your Sutton bin collection day
Use the Council service to find collection information for your address rather than relying on an old calendar, especially if you’ve recently moved home or if collection arrangements have changed.
What happens if my bin isn’t collected?
First, don’t report it too early.
Sutton’s collection crews work until 6:00 pm, so your collection may simply be later than usual.
If it has genuinely been missed, Sutton Council says you should report it after 6:00 pm on the day of collection. Missed collections need to be reported within two working days, and the Council says it will arrange for a crew to return within two working days.
There are circumstances in which a return collection won’t be made — for example, if the container wasn’t out before 6:00am, contained the wrong waste, or was too heavy to collect.
Need help with a persistent collection problem?
If you’re a Wallington North resident and you’ve correctly reported repeated missed collections, but the problem continues, you can contact your ward councillors.
If possible, include your address, dates of missed collections and any Council reference numbers. That gives us the information we need to investigate the issue properly.
