Somerset runs its 'Recycle More' sort-at-home service: recycling and food waste are collected weekly across several containers, while general rubbish goes in a black bin just once every three weeks. It's more sorting than most councils, but very little ends up as landfill.
Somerset Council collects general rubbish in a black bin (or authorised sacks) once every three weeks. Recycling is collected weekly, sorted at the kerbside into a Bright Blue Bag (plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, cartons, food tins, drink cans and aerosols), a black box (paper and card), and a green box (glass bottles and jars). Food waste is collected weekly in a caddy. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. Present all containers by 6am on collection day. Note: Somerset is a separate council from neighbouring North Somerset, with a different setup.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Somerset. You can also check the council's own page at somerset.gov.uk.
Somerset collects rubbish in a black bin every three weeks, with weekly kerbside-sorted recycling across a Bright Blue Bag (plastics, cans, cartons), a black box (paper and card) and a green box (glass), plus a weekly food caddy and a paid brown garden bin. It's a separate council from North Somerset. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know what to sort out.
