Babergh (run jointly with Mid Suffolk) overhauled its collections in June 2026: general rubbish, recycling and paper/card all moved to a three-weekly cycle, with a new weekly food waste service. Glass and cartons can now go in the recycling. Garden waste is a separate paid service.
Babergh District Council collects general rubbish, mixed recycling, and paper and card each on a three-weekly cycle (from 1 June 2026). The recycling bin now accepts glass bottles and jars and cartons as well as plastics and metal (plastic film to follow in 2027). Food waste is collected weekly, on the same day as one of your other bins but by a separate crew. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on an optional paid subscription, collected fortnightly. Only authorised Babergh bins are emptied — rubbish in unauthorised black sacks left beside bins won't be collected. Present bins by 6am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Babergh. You can also check the council's own page at babergh.gov.uk.
