Can I be sent a paper bill for Proof of Address even if I normally only get them by email?
I need an original paper gas or electric bill to use my council's recycling centre. How can I get these? Bills I print off myself are not accepted

It tends to be black and white printed/photocopied ones that they don’t like.
If you download a bill as a PDF and print it in colour, then they have no way of distinguishing it from one sent through the post. (Fold it like you would to put it in an envelope).
If you don’t have a colour printer then simply put the PDF on a USB stick and take it to a friend, the library, the Post Office, etc, to print it in colour there.
Bills can be downloaded via your online account as a pdf file and printed at home. When you download them they’re in the same format as if we’d posted it to you. You can see how to download statements using the guide below. If you’re unable to get online for any reason, you can contact the Support Team, as they can also post out a copy of a previous bill if needed.
I said, Hey - Watts going on.
