East Riding of Yorkshire catches people out with its green bin being general rubbish, not recycling. Blue is your mixed recycling and brown takes food and garden waste together. The brown bin is moving to weekly collections across the area through 2026 and 2027.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council collects the green bin (general, non-recyclable household waste) and the blue bin (mixed dry recycling — paper, card, plastics, cans and glass, loose with no bags) on alternating fortnightly weeks. The brown bin takes food and garden waste together, with a free kitchen caddy and liners provided; it is moving from fortnightly to weekly collection in stages, reaching all residents by 2027. Note the local quirk: green is general rubbish here, not recycling. Present all bins by 7am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from East Riding. You can also check the council's own page at eastriding.gov.uk.
East Riding collects the green (general waste) and blue (mixed recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, and the brown (food and garden) bin — which is moving to weekly through 2026 to 2027. Note the local quirk — 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.
