Gateshead collects your household waste bin and blue recycling bin on alternating fortnights, so which bin goes out this week is the easy thing to get wrong — especially with a separate four-weekly paper and card round in some areas on top.
Gateshead Council collects the household waste bin (general) and blue bin (recycling) fortnightly, on alternating weeks. Garden waste is a paid seasonal service — the 2026 subscription is around £39 for 15 fortnightly collections between April and October. Some areas also have a separate paper and card collection every four weeks. Bins should be out by 7:30am on collection day and brought back in the same day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Gateshead. You can also check the council's own page at gateshead.gov.uk.
