Halton keeps to a straightforward set of four containers: a black bin for rubbish, a blue bin for all your mixed recycling, a green bin for garden waste, and a food caddy. Rubbish and recycling alternate week about.
Halton Borough Council collects the black bin (non-recyclable residual waste) and the blue bin (commingled dry recycling — paper, card, plastics, cans and glass, all together) on alternating fortnightly weeks. Food waste is collected weekly using indoor and outdoor grey caddies. Garden waste goes in a green bin, collected fortnightly on a paid subscription (around £35 a year). Some properties use sacks rather than wheelie bins. Present containers by the morning of collection.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Halton. You can also check the council's own page at halton.gov.uk.
Halton collects the black (general waste) and blue (mixed recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, with a weekly food caddy and a paid green garden bin. Your exact day depends on your address — My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you never mix up black week with blue week.
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.
