Household bin collection days

Changes to some bin collection schedules

From the 24 February 2025 we will be introducing changes to our residential collection schedule, these changes are required to help make sure that we provide a consistent and reliable bin collection service.

These changes may result in a change to the day we collect your waste, or a change to what is collected each week (so you may have been on Round A but from the 24 February your waste will be collected on Round B).

Residents effected by these changes will receive a letter informing them of the specific changes to their collection schedule.

The details of the new collection schedule are included within our published collection schedule by street, below.

Note there is no change to the type of waste we collect and its frequency, we still collect your grey or green waste bin (non-recyclable waste) fortnightly, your blue recycling bin and brown garden waste bin (if subscribed) fortnightly on the opposite week to non-recyclable waste collection and we still collect your food waste separately every week if you are currently receiving this service.

To ensure a better transition please check your streets collection schedule below

Street names: I

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, go to the end of this page or 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:
