Your bins
Your household wheeled bins are for different kinds of waste. We are also providing small food bins for all houses in the borough.
| Service | Collection details |
|---|---|
| Green/grey wheeled bins | Collections every 2 weeks on your usual day |
| Blue wheeled bins | Collections every 2 weeks on your usual day |
| Brown wheeled bins | Collections by subscription only, in the same weeks as blue bins on your usual day, except when we pause for winter |
| Food bins | Collections every week on your usual day |
Each week, the bins we collect from your street will depend on whether it's a 'Round A' or 'Round B' street – we collect blue and brown bins from one round and green/grey bins from the other round, then swap over the following week.
In a small number of streets we must collect waste and recycling in bags rather than bins. We provide bags to households that receive this service. Garden and food waste must be placed in bags for non-recyclable waste as we cannot provide bin collections for these households.
Your street's collections
From Monday 24 February 2025 we will be introducing changes to our residential collection schedule, which may impact the day we collect your residential waste or what round your street is on (A or B). To ensure a seamless transition and for more information, please check your streets collection schedule below:
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:

Things to remember
It's important you remember:
- to leave your bins out by 6am on the day of collection
- to leave your bins at the kerbside or at your agreed collection point, as close as possible to the public footway or pavement without causing an obstruction for pedestrians – we will not collect your bins if they are not put in an easy-to-access place
- to use the right bin for the different types of waste and recycling
- contaminated bins will not be emptied – check what goes in your bins
- collections may not be at the same time every week
- we will only collect waste from bins with the lid shut
- we will collect extra recycling as side waste if your blue bin is full, but we will not collect green/grey bin or brown bin side waste unless we have given notice – for more on side waste, go to what goes in your bins
