What bin is it this week?

Which bin is it this week? How to check

It depends on your council's rota. Many councils alternate bins from week to week and collect food waste every week. Check your council's bin calendar, or let Loci remind you the night before which bins are due.

How bin weeks work

Every council sets its own rota, so which bin it is this week depends on where you live. Most rotas follow one of these patterns.

A common pattern. General waste goes out one week and recycling the next, usually on the same day. If one bin went out last week, it's often the other one this week.
