North Tyneside uses green for general rubbish and grey for recycling — the reverse of some neighbouring councils. The grey recycling bin has a caddy in the top for paper and glass, with everything else loose in the main body. Garden waste is a separate paid brown bin.
North Tyneside Council collects the green bin (household rubbish, food waste and anything that can't be recycled) and the grey recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, on the same collection day but at a different time. The grey bin has a caddy in the top for paper and glass bottles and jars, with plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, cans, tins and tetrapaks going loose in the main body. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid annual subscription (£35 for 2026), collected fortnightly in season. Present bins by 6:30am; don't put rubbish out earlier than the evening before.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from North Tyneside. You can also check the council's own page at northtyneside.gov.uk.
North Tyneside collects the green (general waste) and grey (recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, with a paid brown garden bin in season. Note the local quirk — green is general rubbish and grey is recycling, and the grey bin has a caddy on top for paper and glass. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always put the right bin out.
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.
