Household bin collection days

Normal collections and public holidays

We collect household waste and recycling green/grey wheeled bins and blue wheeled bins every 2 weeks on alternate weeks. If you've signed-up for garden waste collections, we'll collect your brown wheeled bin in the same weeks as your blue bin. Food bins are collected every week.

The bins we collect from your street each week will depend on whether it's a 'Round A' or 'Round B' street. To check 'Round A' and 'Round B' dates, use the table below or go to bin collection weeks.

You can check the normal collection day for any street and whether it's a 'Round A' or 'Round B' street by selecting the first letter of the street name:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y

Use our A to Z of recyclable waste to check what should go in each bin.
