Bin Raiding or Bin Dipping... Make Your Bins Safe Again

Sep 2, 2025 Billie Cooper

Why rubbish is stolen from bins? 

  • Identity Theft

Bin raiders look for personal documents to steal identities and commit fraud. 

  • Selling valuables:

They may search for semi-valuable items to clean up and resell. 

  • Bin theft for personal use:

In some areas, bins are stolen to avoid paying for them, as they may be provided by the council or paid for by homeowners.

How to prevent your bin from being targeted?

Take a look at our Wheelie Bin Storage Covers...

What to do if your bin is stolen:

  1. 1. Contact the police:

Report the theft to your local police, even if they may not have the resources to investigate every small case. 

  1. 2. Inform your council:

If your bin was provided by the council or a waste management company, report it missing to them through their website or by phone. They may offer a free or charged replacement. 

  1. 3. Secure your property:

As you await a replacement, take steps to prevent further theft, such as securing any remaining bins and purchasing Wheelie bin Storage to take your security to the next level.

Stop everyone putting rubbish in your bins!
