We are very sorry to all those affected by delays to waste, recycling and garden collections as the crews get used to new routes and vehicles. We are working with Suez to improve the situation, and we’re providing updates with latest information.

Charging a fare for a journey in a Hackney Carriage or Private Hire Vehicle
If your vehicle has a hackney carriage licence, you'll need to:
- fit an approved fare meter
- display a table of fares where passengers can see it
- charge passengers certain fees for their journeys
If your vehicle has a private hire licence, you don't need to fit a fare meter and you can set your own prices for journeys.
Fees
For a complete journey in a hackney carriage licensed vehicle, you can charge a passenger up to:
- £3 for journeys of up to 200 metres
- £3 for between 200 metres and 400 metres
- 10 pence for every 88 metres, in whole or in part, travelled after the first 400 metres
