Refunds
If you cancel your subscription before the end of the cancellation period, we will give you a full refund.
We will make the refund without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel your subscription.
If you cancel your subscription after the 21-day cancellation period, refunds will not be applicable.
We will make the refund via bank transfer using the details supplied on your Direct Debit mandate. If you paid using another payment method, we will make the refund using the same means of payment that you used for the initial transaction. In any event, you will not incur any fees from the council as a result of the refund.
Remember to also cancel any future Direct Debit instructions with your bank directly to prevent any automatic payments in respect of the following subscription period.
If you ordered an additional bin we will collect it from you at our own expense.
