Bracknell Forest is an easy one to get wrong: the green bin here is general rubbish, not recycling or garden waste, and it's collected only once every three weeks. Blue is recycling, the food caddy is weekly, and garden waste is a paid brown bin.
Bracknell Forest Council collects the green bin (general household waste that can't be recycled or composted) once every three weeks, and the blue recycling bin (plastic bottles, pots and tubs, cans, tins, cartons, card and aerosols — 'wash and squash') once a fortnight. Food waste is collected weekly in a caddy. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. The key thing to remember: green is general rubbish here, not recycling, and it's on a three-weekly cycle. Present all bins by 7am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Bracknell Forest. You can also check the council's own page at bracknell-forest.gov.uk.
Bracknell Forest collects the green (general waste) bin every three weeks, the blue (recycling) bin fortnightly, a weekly food caddy, and a paid brown garden bin. Note the local quirks — green is general rubbish here, not recycling, and it's collected three-weekly. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always put the right bin out.
