Report an abandoned bin

A bin is 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 using our online form. 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 taking it to back in. If you need to tell us about this, email wastemanagement@barnsley.gov.uk instead.

What happens next

After reporting an abandoned bin we'll arrange for one of our crews to pick the bin up.
