Bury is one of the trickier boroughs to keep straight: the grey, blue and green bins are all on a three-weekly cycle while the brown food-and-garden bin comes fortnightly. Because general waste only goes every three weeks, filling the recycling bins correctly is the only way to avoid running out of room.
Bury Council collects the grey bin (general, non-recyclable waste) every three weeks, the blue bin (plastic bottles, glass, tins and cans) every three weeks, and the green bin (clean paper and card) every three weeks. The brown bin (food and garden waste) is collected every two weeks. Note the local quirk — in Bury it's the green bin that takes paper and card, not the blue. Present bins at the kerbside by 7am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Bury. You can also check the council's own page at bury.gov.uk.
Bury collects the grey (general waste), blue (plastic, glass and cans) and green (paper and card) bins every three weeks, and the brown (food and garden) bin every two weeks. Your exact day depends on your address — My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know which of the three-weekly bins is due.
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.
