Greenwich collects recycling and food-and-garden waste weekly, with only general rubbish dropping to fortnightly. Unusually, the green-top bin takes food and garden waste together — and garden waste is free, not a paid extra.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich collects the blue-top bin (mixed dry recycling — paper, card, glass bottles and jars, tins, cans, aerosols, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, cartons and foil, loose) weekly, and the green-top bin (food and garden waste together) weekly, with a kitchen caddy provided. The black-top bin (general, non-recyclable waste) is collected fortnightly on a Week A or Week B cycle. Unusually, the food-and-garden service is free. Properties without a green bin can use paper and corn-starch sacks. Present bins by 6am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Greenwich. You can also check the council's own page at royalgreenwich.gov.uk.
Greenwich collects the blue-top (mixed recycling) bin and the green-top (food and garden waste) bin weekly, with the black-top (general waste) bin fortnightly. Note the local quirks — green takes food and garden together, and it's free. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know what's due.
My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.
