Abandoned bins

A bin's classed as abandoned when it's been left on the street or somewhere else and doesn't look like it belongs to a property. Abandoned bins may be at risk of being stolen or vandalised, or having waste dumped in them.

You can report an abandoned bin to us using our online form. You'll need to tell us a description of exactly where the bin's located. After making your report one of our crews will pick up the bin on their usual bin delivery routes.

Please don't use this form to report a neighbour who's leaving their bin out on the street after it's been emptied and not returning it to their property. If you need to tell us about this, please email wastemanagement@barnsley.gov.uk
