Week 4 - household residual waste bin - green
Week 5 - same as week 1 i.e. blue bin and black box.....
What to put in each bin:

your brown bin is for green garden waste and is collected every 4 weeks
-
your black box is for glass, cans, aerosols and household batteries and is collected every 2 weeks along with either the blue or brown bin

your household residual waste bin is collected every 2 weeks and should be used for all household waste which cannot be recycled
During 2011 a trial food waste and mixed plastics service is in operation. Households in the trial areas are provided with an additional weekly collection service as follows:
