Apply for assisted waste and recycling collection

• Answer all the questions in your own words to give detailed information in support of your application.
• The contents of this application form will be treated as confidential and will only be used to process your application for an Assisted Collection Service.
• If you need help to complete this application form please telephone the information line where trained staff are available to give guidance. If you are unable to complete this form yourself, please ask someone else to complete it on your behalf.

Please remember:

• Only occupants who are genuinely incapacitated or disabled either temporarily or permanently, and there is no other person in the property or immediate neighbourhood willing to move the waste on their behalf, will be granted exemption.
• Exemption will not be granted on the length of driveways or distance to property boundary.
• Where exemption is granted, an assisted collection service will be provided from an alternative collection point as agreed by the council.
• Any exemption approved will be reviewed at regular intervals.
• Using wheeled bins for both waste and recycling should make moving these materials much easier for most residents.

If the assisted collection service has already been temporarily applied, this form MUST be completed within 14 days to ensure it continues.
