Bin left away from property

You collect the bin OK, however it needs to be placed back in the position it is taken from.

Reply from Onward Waste Ltd

Hi Robin,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
Following your review, we looked into your account and contacted you to better understand your concerns, as this is now your third year using our service, and this issue had not previously been brought to our attention.

We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us, as we would have welcomed the opportunity to discuss it sooner.

Having reviewed the collection and discussed it with you, we understand the concern was that the bin had been returned to the pavement or grass verge outside your house rather than the garden path. As this is a kerbside collection service, our teams aim to return bins as close as reasonably possible to their collection point, and we have reminded our crews to take extra care when returning containers.

Thank you again for your feedback and for your continued custom.

Kind regards,
Onward Waste
