East Devon collects recycling and food waste weekly, sorted into a green box and green sack, while general rubbish goes in a black bin just once every three weeks. Garden waste is a separate paid service.
East Devon District Council collects recycling and food waste weekly, and the black bin (or gull sack in coastal areas — general non-recyclable waste) once every three weeks. Recycling is sorted at the kerbside: a green box for paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, small electricals, textiles and shoes; and a green sack for mixed plastics (not film), food and drink cartons, tins, cans, empty aerosols and foil. Food waste is collected weekly in a caddy. Garden waste goes in a green wheelie bin on a paid subscription. You can have up to three boxes, sacks and caddies. Present all containers by 7am on collection day. Waste is disposed of via Devon County Council.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from East Devon. You can also check the council's own page at eastdevon.gov.uk.
East Devon collects the green box (paper, card, glass) and green sack (plastics, cartons, cans) plus food waste weekly, with the black bin (general waste) only every three weeks and a paid garden service. Note the three-weekly rubbish cycle. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know what to sort out.
