Residents can report missed bin collections to Solo directly by phoning 08 8295 5077 or phoning Council on 1300 785 277 who will facilitate transferring residents through to Solo.  As Council does not have access to Solo driver video evidence, Solo will assist residents directly and arrange a collection.
