Report an empty or broken salt bin

Salt bins (sometimes called grit bins, grit boxes or salt boxes) are located around the county for residents to use.

Salt bin refill

Existing salt bins will be refilled between September and November.

Should we have a snow event or bad period of weather, where resources allow, we may refill during the season.

To request for a salt bin to be refilled, log your request using the button below and select the category Salt & Gritting - Salt bin refill.

Report a damaged salt bin

We will replace damaged salt bins that were provided by us as long as our resources allow. In some cases, this may mean the bin is removed for safety reasons and not replaced until after the winter season.

You can log your request using the button below, selecting the category Salt & Gritting - Salt bin damaged.

What we need to know

Help us locate the problem quicker by providing:

  • images (if safe to do so)
  • a description of damage
  • a description of its location (for example, outside house number 25)

All of our salt bins are marked individually on the map. Select the correct one to report it.

You must have an email address to use the online reporting site (FixMyStreet).
