How to pay your commercial waste and recycling invoices

You will normally receive a 6 monthly invoice in April and October for the service provided, payable in advance for the following six months. The invoice can be paid in full (details on reverse of the invoice) or you can request to pay by Direct Debit spreading the cost of each invoice over 5 months. If you complete a Direct Debit mandate please send the original version to the address on the DD, we cannot accept scanned or photocopies. If you take up a service between our normal invoice dates you will receive an interim invoice payable in full.

Whichever way you pay please ensure your 8 digit invoice number is quoted otherwise monies cannot be allocated to the correct account.

Pay by Direct Debit

You can pay monthly for most of our general waste collection services by Direct Debit. This needs to be set up as soon as you receive your invoice or before we are due to invoice for existing customers.

To request a Direct Debit form telephone the council's accounts section on 01792 636098. When you receive the form complete your details and return it to the address on the form as soon as possible.

Please note, Direct Debit is not available for glass and can recycling invoices. This is invoiced separately to the trade waste.
