You can only report a missed bin collection to us if you live in Bedford Borough and:
- you left your bin out in the correct place on the correct day by 6am
- your bin was not overloaded
- your orange lidded recycling bin only contained recyclable items (see what items can be recycled here)
- you are reporting a missed bin within 2 working days of the original collection day
It won’t be considered a ‘missed bin’ unless all of these apply. You will need to wait until your next scheduled collection. You can also take your waste to the Household Waste Recycling Centre on Barkers Lane, Bedford.
If we agree a collection has been missed we will return within the next 2 working days from when you report it.
