    # Belfast missed bin collection

    [Belfast City Council](../organisations/belfast-city-council.md) provides this
    local example in the selected
    [Northern Ireland context](../jurisdictions/northern-ireland.md). It belongs to
    the normalized [report-missed-rubbish family](report-missed-rubbish-collection.md).

    Observed official conditions on 2026-08-07 include waiting until after 7pm on
    collection day. The page says an overfull or heavy bin, wrong items, a damaged
    bin or a bin without its liner does not count as missed. It provides online and
    telephone reporting and identifies Bryson Recycling for a specified recycling
    service, making a private-sector delivery dependency visible without changing
    the council route. These are Belfast observations only.

    The council complaint procedure covers complaints about council services or a
    contractor. Its final decision can lead to the
    [Northern Ireland Public Services Ombudsman](../organisations/northern-ireland-public-services-ombudsman.md),
    subject to completing the council process and current NIPSO rules.
