Cornwall runs a sort-at-home recycling service rather than one mixed bin — you separate materials across coloured bags and a box, all collected fortnightly, with a green food caddy emptied weekly. General rubbish goes in a wheelie bin or reusable sack every fortnight.
Cornwall Council collects rubbish fortnightly in a council wheelie bin or reusable protective sack. Recycling is collected fortnightly, sorted at home into colour-coded bags — an orange bag for cardboard, a red bag for plastics, cartons and metal packaging, a blue bag for paper — plus a black box for glass and textiles. Food waste is collected weekly from a green outdoor caddy (a silver kitchen caddy is for indoor storage). Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. Put containers out by 7am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Cornwall. You can also check the council's own page at cornwall.gov.uk.
