Report a missed collection

search for your next collection dates

Before you report a missed collection, check today’s missed collection report to see if we’re already aware of it. The missed collection reports are uploaded to Google Drive at around 6.30pm each weeknight.

If your road is listed, you don’t need to take any action and a crew will be back to collect your bin. You can see the revised collection date on the report.

If your road is not listed on the report, you should report your collection as missed.

You can view the latest report by clicking the button below.

You can also get real-time information about your collections through the North Somerset Council app. Download the app to be notified if your collection can't take place, as well as reminders to put your bins out.

  • if your container has not been emptied due to incorrect items, this is not treated as a missed collection. This includes black bins that contain DIY waste
  • each household is allowed only one black bin, additional bins will not be emptied and this is not treated as a missed collection

In September 2025, our crews collected 1,197,315 containers. Of these, 99.89% were completed successfully on the scheduled day of collection.

Reporting a missed collection

If we haven’t emptied your bins on your collection day, you need to tell us by the end of the following working day. For example, if your collection day is Friday you will need to tell us by 11.59pm on Monday.
