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

You have to request a permit to place garden waste into your brown bin.
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
