Never miss a Bath & NE Somerset bin day again

Bath and North East Somerset runs a kerbside-sort recycling scheme rather than a single mixed bin — you separate materials across green boxes and a blue bag, all collected weekly, while general rubbish is fortnightly. It's more sorting than most councils, but it means very little ends up as landfill.

How Bath & NE Somerset bin collections work

Bath and North East Somerset Council collects your rubbish (a black wheelie bin or reusable rubbish bag) once a fortnight. Recycling is collected weekly across several containers: green box one for plastics, tins and cans; green box two for glass, paper and textiles; and a blue bag for cardboard. Food waste is collected weekly in a kerbside caddy. Garden waste is a paid subscription, collected fortnightly, though home composting is encouraged. Present containers at the front edge of your property by 6am, or from 8pm the night before.
