Hot weather

The Met Office (opens new window) has forecast hot weather across Guildford. Read our advice during hot weather.

Bin collections

Due to the high temperatures, our bin crews will be starting collections earlier than usual to help keep them safe in the heat. Please make sure your bins are out the night before, as collections will take place from 5.30am for the rest of the week. Thank you for helping our crews work safely during the hot weather.

Order a smaller or larger bin

You can swap your green recycling bin or black refuse bin for a smaller or larger bin. Garden waste bins cannot be swapped.

Available sizes:

  • 140 litres
  • 240 litres 

What you need to know 

Your green recycling bin must always be equal to, or larger than, your black refuse bin. For example:

  • if you want a larger black refuse bin, you will automatically get a larger green recycling bin if you don't already have one
  • if you want a smaller green recycling bin, you will automatically get a smaller black refuse bin if you don't already have one
