Storage

If there is no room to store 3 wheeled bins e.g. in flats, terraced houses, bedsits etc the council will make alternative arrangements. A visit can be arranged to assess your individual circumstances. Please contact env.health@scambs.gov.uk (This link will open in a new window) to request a call-back from a Refuse and Recycling Support Officer.
