Rotherham is an easy borough to get wrong if you've moved in from elsewhere: the general-waste bin is the one with the pink lid, the green bin is paper and card, and the black bin is glass, cans and plastic. Get those three colours straight and the rest is simple. Collection weeks run on a 1A / 1B / 2A / 2B pattern.
Rotherham Council collects the pink-lidded bin (general household waste), the green bin (paper and card), and the black bin (glass, cans and plastic packaging). Garden waste goes in a separate brown bin on a paid subscription. The key thing to remember is that in Rotherham the pink-lid bin is general rubbish, green is paper and card, and black is containers — not the other way round. Check whether you're on Week 1A, 1B, 2A or 2B, then present bins by the morning of collection.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Rotherham. You can also check the council's own page at rotherham.gov.uk.
Rotherham collects the pink-lidded (general waste), green (paper and card) and black (glass, cans and plastic) bins on a rotating four-week pattern, with an optional paid brown garden bin. Note the local quirk — pink-lid is general rubbish and green is paper, not the reverse. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always put the right bin out.
