Hounslow runs one of London's most sorted recycling systems: a red box for plastics and cans, a green box for glass, and a blue bin for paper and card — all collected weekly. General rubbish goes in a black bin every fortnight, with food waste weekly.
The London Borough of Hounslow collects the black bin (140L, general non-recyclable waste) every fortnight. Recycling is collected weekly across three containers: a red box for plastic bottles, food tins and drink cans; a green box for glass bottles and jars; and a blue bin (where provided) for paper and cardboard. Food waste is collected weekly in a green caddy. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. Present all containers by 7am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Hounslow. You can also check the council's own page at hounslow.gov.uk.
