Salford splits its recycling across two bins — blue for paper and card, brown for plastic, glass and cans — and the black general waste bin only comes every three weeks, not fortnightly. Four different bins on three different rhythms is a lot to keep straight, which is exactly where people slip up.
Salford City Council collects the black bin (general waste) every three weeks, the blue (paper and card) and brown (plastic bottles, glass and cans) recycling bins fortnightly, and food and garden waste (pink-lidded bin or caddy) weekly. Keeping paper separate from plastic and glass is the key thing to get right. Present your bins by the morning of collection day with the lid closed.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Salford. You can also check the council's own page at salford.gov.uk.
