- Check your bin was presented correctly. Bin at the boundary of your property, lid fully closed, correct waste inside. If not, wait for your next harrow bin collection day.

- Report via the Harrow bins page after the collection window has closed. Go to www.harrow.gov.uk and complete the missed collection form with your address and bin type.
- Leave your bin out. Keep it at the front of your property. London Borough of Harrow will return within as soon as possible.
