# Coventry missed bin collection

[Coventry City Council](../organisations/coventry-city-council.md) provides this
local example in the selected [England context](../jurisdictions/england.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 5pm on
the scheduled collection day, checking that the bin held the correct contents,
and using the online report route. A garden-waste bin requires the local permit.
These are Coventry observations, not England-wide rules.

For continuing service failure, the council page says to report the service
issue first and allow a reasonable opportunity to respond before making a
formal complaint. The selected external route is the
[Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman](../organisations/local-government-and-social-care-ombudsman.md),
normally after the council complaint stages.

Source and reuse limitations are recorded in the
[evidence set](../evidence/missed-rubbish-collection-sources.md). Recheck the
live pages before use.
