Assisted Collection Applications
Last updated: 21st May 2018
The following privacy notice applies to Finance & Customer Services/Waste – Assisted collection applications.
Where, through frailty or incapacity, a householder cannot present their wheeled bin, recycling boxes or mini food waste bin at the kerbside, and, subject to there being no other able bodied person living, working at, or any other person in a position to reasonably assist with moving waste containers at the property, the householder may make a formal request to the Council for an Assisted Collection service arrangement.
The Council will ask the householder to confirm that they are incapable of moving their waste containers
to/from their normal collection point and have nobody else to assist. If an Assisted Collection is approved by the Council then a suitable collection point on the property shall be agreed with the householder, and access made available for the collection crew from 07.00 hours on day of collection.
Purpose for processing and legal basis

If the householder’s circumstances change, the resident must inform the Council.
