How to report a missed bin collection in Rotherham

Before you report: Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council will not reattempt a collection if your bin was not presented correctly. Bins must be out by 7am at kerbside, lid closed, lid fully closed, correct waste inside and accessible from the pavement.

  1. Check your bin was presented correctly. Bin at the boundary of your property, lid fully closed, correct waste inside. If any of these were not met, wait for your next rotherham bin collection day.
  2. Confirm the crew has visited your road. Only report once you are sure the collection crew has already been to your street and your bin was missed.
  3. Report after 3pm on collection day or the next working day. Go to www.rotherham.gov.uk and complete the missed collection form with your address and bin type.
  4. Leave your bin out. Keep it at the front of your property. Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council will return within as soon as possible.
