Did you know that we can provide an assisted bin collection service if you are not able to put your wheelie bin out for collection yourself? (for example because of mobility problems or illness).
You can apply for an assisted collection if you have no other member of your household who is able to help, and you are not able to put out your bins yourself because of a mobility problem or illness.
To apply, please fill in our online form, call us on 01546 605514 or email enquiries@argyll-bute.gov.uk and an application form will be sent out to you.
If you have any general enquiries about the use of your domestic bin you can get in touch with us using our online form.
The wheeled bin must be used, and no excess or side waste should be placed outwith the bin.
Please return your bin back onto your property as soon as reasonably possible after collection.
Do not leave a bin permanently on the footpath.
Points to Remember
DO make sure your bin is available on your designated bin collection day, by the time stated for your area. Bin collection times may vary due to operational changes. However, we will try to catch up as soon as possible.
Homes on unadopted roads
We will collect bins from unadopted (private) roads providing that the road is safe for the bin lorry and to do so is operationally suitable. If your road is found not to be suitable then we will arrange a communal collection point where your private road joins the public road.
