Missed collection?

If for any reason your box is not emptied on the expected day, please contact East Devon customer services using the details at the top of this page. The contractor may be able to arrange to return and make the collection, if still operating close to your area. If not, a firm commitment will be made to call at your property on the next scheduled collection day.
