Darlington flips the usual pattern — since 2026, recycling and food waste are collected weekly, while general household rubbish is only every fortnight. Glass goes in a separate green box, not the recycling bin, which is the bit that catches people out.
Darlington Borough Council collects recycling and food waste weekly, with general household rubbish fortnightly. Cardboard, paper, tins, plastic and cartons go together in the recycling bin; glass is kept separate in a green box. Most homes are on "Scheme A" (recycling bin plus green glass box); some terraced and back-lane properties are on "Scheme B" using green boxes only. Put refuse and recycling out by 7am (after 8pm the night before).
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Darlington. You can also check the council's own page at darlington.gov.uk.
