Application for an Assisted Collection Service

• Please answer all the questions in your own words to give detailed information in support of your application. If there is not enough space on the form for everything you want to write, use a separate piece of paper and attach it to the form.
• The contents of this application form will be treated as confidential and will only be used to process your application for an Assisted Collection Service.
• If you need help to complete this application form please telephone the information line where trained staff will be available to give guidance. If you are unable to complete this form yourself, please ask someone else to complete it on your behalf.
• Using wheeled bins for both recycling and refuse should make moving these much easier for most residents.

Please remember

• Only occupants who are genuinely incapacitated or disabled either temporarily or permanently, and there is no other person in the property or immediate neighbourhood willing to move the waste on their behalf, will be granted exemption.
• If you currently receive an assisted waste collection you will still have to apply for assistance as all records are being updated.
• Exemption will not be granted on the length of driveways or distance to property boundary.
• Where exemption is granted, an assisted collection service will be provided from an agreed alternative collection point.
• Any exemption approved will be reviewed at regular intervals.
