Order your sacks
Order the commercial waste sacks used for your collections using our online form.
Payment will be taken online after the form has been submitted via debit or credit card.
You can only order a sack if your postcode is within CB2 and CB3, all other customers are encouraged to order additional bins.
If the delivery address is outside of postcode areas CB2 or CB3 we can arrange a site visit to assess the collection requirements. Please email trade@scambs.gov.uk to arrange this.
Collection instructions
Where and when you place your sacks out for collection is important. It can cause operational difficulties for us and makes the city look untidy.
Please follow these simple rules when using our sack waste collection service.
1. Ensure the sack is not overfilled. You should be able to lift it with just one arm. No sharp objects, liquids, poison, explosives, broken glass or hazardous waste is permitted.
2. Make sure it is tied/ sealed securely so waste does not escape.
3. Sacks must be presented for collection before 6am on the day of collection
4. Please put the sacks in front of your commercial space. Do not pile the sacks around litter bins. Different crews empty those and piles of sacks makes this difficult. Try not to block the footpath.
5. Make sure the weight does not exceed 15kg.
6. If you do not follow these instructions it may result in you being refused the service. The ‘Duty of Care’ to present your waste correctly is and will be enforceable by law (Section 34 - Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Clean Neighbourhoods Act 2005).
