Looking after your bins will help us to save money. You can do this by keeping them in a safe place and putting your house number or name on them.
Purple and clear sack delivery
The way we deliver purple and clear sacks have changed. Rather than receiving an annual delivery, you will now need to request them.
If your property uses purple or clear sacks you should have been contacted by the waste and recycling team, advising you what you need to do.
If you have not heard from us, please email your address to collections@solihull.gov.uk.
Replacements bins
We'll supply your black and brown bins for free if:
- you have moved into a new home and there are no bins available. If you are moving into a newly built home, then the developer should purchase the bins.
- this is your first replacement in two years due to your bin being lost/stolen
We will not supply bins for free if:
- the bin is still serviceable
- you have moved into a property/live at a property without a green bin
Pay for a replacement
You will need to pay for your bin if you have already received a replacement in the last two years.
This will be:
- £36.50 for a brown or green wheelie bin
- £30.50 standard black wheelie bin
- £36.50 large black wheelie bin (if you already have a larger bin)
The price of replacement bins also includes the delivery cost.
Damaged bins
Before we replace a damaged bin, we may visit your home to check if it's still usable.

We may on occasion provide you with refurbished bins.
Replacement green bin
If you move into a property that does not have a green bin and you wish to use the chargeable garden waste service, you will need to purchase a green bin as well as the annual subscription to the service.
The cost of a new green bin is £36.50 (inclusive of delivery).
