What you need to know

Wheeled bins

For your information all households within Mid Devon will be issued a grey 180L wheeled bin during the autumn of 2022, if you purchase a wheeled bin before this date no refunds will be given if the bin is no longer required. Properties will only be able to place one grey 180L wheeled bin out for collection unless agreements have been made with Mid Devon District Council or have been issued a permit for the second wheeled bin.

 

All wheelie bins previously sold by Mid Devon District Council came with a 12 month guarantee which covered fair wear and tear. After 12 months the owner of the bin is responsible for any replacements.

Seagull sacks

Properties that cannot accommodate wheeled bins or in areas that our vehicles are unable to access, for example on rural collection points, will be issued a seagull sack free of charge on request.

Seagull sacks are highly durable, reusable extra thick woven polypropylene bags with a Velcro lid and weighted base. They are 170l in size, nearly the same capacity as the wheeled bins.

In order to help us prevent litter and scavenging animals, please ensure that you always use a reusable seagull-proof refuse sack when you put out your non-recyclable waste for collection. Please make sure ALL food waste is disposed of in the blue food caddy provided as to not attract any unwanted pests within your non-recyclable waste.
