Newcastle alternates weekly between the blue recycling bin and the green general waste bin — they're never out on the same week — so the thing that catches people out is remembering which one it is this week. Put the wrong bin out and you've a fortnight to wait.
Newcastle City Council collects the green (general waste) and blue (recycling) bins on alternating weeks, on the same collection day. Since October 2025 recycling is fully commingled — glass now goes straight in the blue bin, so there's no separate glass caddy any more. Garden waste is a paid brown-bin service running spring to autumn. Bins need to be on the kerb by 6:30am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Newcastle. You can also check the council's own page at new.newcastle.gov.uk.
