How to get the most out of your recycling
We provide four bins to allow you to easily recycle as much household waste as possible:
Blue bin for paper, card and cardboard
Green-lid bin for plastics, glass, metals, cartons
Grey bin for waste which cannot be recycled
Brown bin for your food and garden waste
Your food and garden waste bin (brown) is collected every two weeks throughout the year with your other bins collected on a three-weekly cycle, with a different bin collected each week, for example:
Week 1 - grey and brown
Week 2 - blue
week 3 - green-lidded and brown
Week 4 - grey
Week 5 - blue and brown
Week 6 - green-lidded
