In Leeds your black general waste bin and green recycling bin alternate week to week, with the brown garden bin on its own separate rotation. Three bins on two rhythms is easy to lose track of — especially working out which one is due this week.
Leeds City Council collects the black bin (general waste) and green bin (mixed recycling — paper, card, glass, cans, plastic bottles, tubs, trays and cartons) fortnightly on alternating weeks. The brown garden waste bin runs on its own fortnightly rotation from April to December — and unlike most councils, Leeds provides this free, running the largest garden waste service of any council in the UK. Bins out by the morning of collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Leeds. You can also check the council's own page at leeds.gov.uk.
