How to book

Please book with at least 3 weeks notice otherwise we can't guarantee bins. This is due to the availability of stock (especially during the summer months).

Please note, each individual event needs a separate booking. For example if you are booking bins for a number of weddings, each wedding needs its own individual form to be completed.

What happens after

Once we receive your booking form we will process your request.

We will deliver the bins either on Thursday if the event is at a weekend or the day before the event if it is held during the week. We will collect them on the first working day after the event if our resources allow.

Please note bins will not be emptied during the event.

After the event, when we collect the bins we will check them for contamination and then send an invoice.
