Request

  1. Each container you issue — waste stream (residual / recycling / paper / glass / garden / food), type (wheelie / box / bag / caddy), capacity in litres, body + lid colours, and external dimensions in mm (width × depth × height) if you hold them.
  2. The typical household set — how many of each container a standard household usually receives (for example 1 residual + 1 recycling + garden), not only the menu of available sizes.
  3. Whether a food caddy (kitchen + outdoor) is standard, and the sizes.
  4. A high-resolution logo or crest we may display on our website for recognition only, with a clear note that we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the council — or a link to an official brand pack. Please confirm we may use it that way.
  5. If you have them, photos of each container (bin / bag / box / caddy) as issued to residents, and confirmation we may show those photos with the council credited as the source.
