Weather disruption
Winter weather is causing disruption to services in some parts of the county. Find out what services may be affected in your area.
We charge for containers provided to new properties, including:
These containers will remain the property of Dorset Council and should not be removed from the premises under any circumstances.
If you are moving or have moved into a new build property and don't have any bins, we recommend checking with the developer/agent if they have already been paid for and arranged to be delivered. If the property developer has not paid for the supply of containers to your home, you will be required to pay.
Order and pay for a full set of bins for your new property.
If you are a developer and would like to know more about the household waste collections we provide, or wish to order bins for a new development, you will need to contact us.
The guidance for developers will help at the early stages of your development. New development sites may require a survey before the quantity and size of containers are agreed upon. This allows us to inspect the site for space and access requirements in order to provide the most suitable containers.
Guidance on provision for the safe and efficient storage and collection of waste, and to maximise the potential for recycling, can be provided upon request.
If you are a developer and wish to request bins for a new development or set of developments, complete our online form. Note that subject to stock levels, delivery may take up to 8 weeks.
