Collection exemptions
Definition:
A provision granted to those who are unable to place the wheelie bin out at the boundary of the property for collection.
Who qualifies?
- A person who is incapable by reason of age and infirmity from placing the wheelie bin out for collection
- A person who is disabled as defined by section 519 of the Housing Act 1985
- A case where the Council decides that special circumstances exist.
Who does not qualify?
- Those with long access drives either public, private or shared.
- Those residents who go away for long periods of time or work away from home.
Some households faced with these problems leave the container permanently at their entrances (semi-concealed if at all possible) and place their landfill waste in small quantities into the container as they leave the premises.
How can I arrange an exemption?
If you consider that you should be exempt, please
Telephone: 01892 602724
Write to: Waste Management team at the Crowborough Council offices
What happens next?
We will then arrange a convenient time and date to meet with you to
- Discuss the location of the bin
- Fill in the necessary forms
Collections will commence on your next landfill waste or recycling collection after we have visited and agreed the exemption.
