Redbridge collects general rubbish and recycling weekly. Rubbish goes in a black wheelie bin, while recycling is sorted into two boxes — one for containers and glass, one for paper and card. Garden waste is a paid brown bin, and a food waste service is being introduced.
The London Borough of Redbridge collects the black wheelie bin (general non-recyclable waste — nappies, polystyrene, soft plastics and anything that can't be recycled) weekly, bagged. Recycling is collected weekly using two boxes (or clear bags): box one for food tins, drink cans, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, and aerosols; box two for paper and card. Rinse and squash items. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. A separate weekly food waste collection is being introduced under national Simpler Recycling rules, with recycling wheelie bins arriving from 2027. This information was correct at the time of writing; the council has proposals to change its collection schedule currently under review, so your service may be updated in future. Present containers by 6am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Redbridge. You can also check the council's own page at redbridge.gov.uk.
