Trial recycling bin (red lid)
Additional bins
If you have moved house, you can request new bins online at order a new bin or caddy or through the Contact Centre on 0191 427 7000.
All bins will be subject to a charge.
We can assess your needs if you cannot fit all your recycling in the bin. Larger families may be entitled to a second recycling bin.
Please make sure you wash and squash all containers and place the caps back on plastic bottles, so the air stays out. You should also flatten and cut up cardboard boxes as they can contain a lot of wasted space.
If you think you have no room to store another wheeled bin (for example, in flats, terraced houses, bedsits etc), a visit can be arranged to assess your individual circumstances.
Please call 0191 427 7000 or email waste@southtyneside.gov.uk to speak to the Waste Team.
