Breckland is an easy one to get wrong: the green bin here is your general rubbish, and the black bin is recycling. Garden waste is a paid brown bin, and a new weekly food waste service is arriving in autumn 2026.
Breckland Council collects the green bin (general non-recyclable household waste) and the black bin (mixed dry recycling — paper, card, plastics, metals, cartons and glass, all together and loose) on alternating fortnightly weeks. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. A new weekly food waste service, using a 7-litre kitchen caddy and 23-litre outdoor bin (both blue), launches in autumn 2026. This information was correct at the time of writing; the council has proposals to change its collection schedule currently under review, so your service may be updated in future. Note the local quirk: green is your general rubbish here, not recycling. Present bins by 6:30am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Breckland. You can also check the council's own page at breckland.gov.uk.
Breckland collects the green (general waste) and black (mixed recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, with a paid brown garden bin and a new weekly food service from autumn 2026. Note green is general rubbish here, not recycling. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always put the right bin out.
My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.

No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with Breckland or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
