How often do they collect refuse and recycling in the UK?

In Suffolk Coastal District. General Refuse one week, garden and recycling refuse the following week. Collection take place even on Bank Holidays. Very good. xx

In the UK there are bottle banks, clothing banks, paper banks etc.

Generally, every two weeks. One week they collect refuse, the next recycling and so on. Garden waste collected every two weeks.

It is different in each local authority. Each council decides their strategy, the materials to be recycled and the method of recycling and from that they set the collection timescales.

Here in Cornwall refuse is weekly and recycling is every 2 weeks.

It changes per town. Those decisions are made my local councils, so they’re different all over the country in different towns, cities and districts.

Down here in Gosport (near Portsmouth) we get them on alternate weeks. One week its refuse, the next week recycling, then refuse the following week.

i assume this would be a block of privately owned apartments? you ought to form a citizens’ committee to take issues to a extra formal point. Do get in touch including your community councillor besides because of the fact the Council’s Environmental wellbeing branch. Do it in writing, save copies of what you wrote, set cut-off dates for solutions. in case you get no respond, bypass public, concerning the community press and radio/television (in case you have such on your area). As a final hotel, get each and all of the citizens at the same time and have a large sparkling-out day, documenting the form with photos and video and deliver that to the media. you ought to ask the media to do the documenting for you. The landfill place of our council (a small city in western Scotland) accepts a lot of rubbish for loose provided you bypass to a council workplace on the outskirts of city to %. up a loose “fee ticket” — it rather is extremely inconvenient and ends up in lots of rubbish, large products of previous fixtures, white products and so forth, sitting unclaimed in back gardens and bin enclosures. unsightly, volatile, unsound.

Where I am it is recycling and general rubbish alternate weeks, garden and kitchen waste every week.
