South Gloucestershire collects recycling and food waste weekly, while general rubbish goes in a black bin just once every three weeks. Recycling is sorted at the kerbside across a box and reusable bags, including a small blue bag for soft plastics like crisp packets and carrier bags.
South Gloucestershire Council (with contractor SUEZ) collects general rubbish in a black bin once every three weeks (bins were downsized in 2026). Recycling is collected weekly, sorted at the kerbside: a black box for paper, card and glass; a white reusable bag for plastics, cans and foil; and a small blue bag for soft plastics such as crisp packets, carrier bags and film. Food waste is collected weekly in a caddy. Garden waste goes in a green bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. Present all containers by 6am (or the evening before) on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from South Gloucestershire. You can also check the council's own page at southglos.gov.uk.
