In South Tyneside your grey bin (general waste) and blue bin (recycling) are collected on alternating fortnights — one week grey, the next blue — so working out which one goes out this week is where people slip up. Get it wrong and it's another fortnight's wait.
South Tyneside collects the grey (general waste) and blue (recycling) bins fortnightly, alternating week to week, on collection days Tuesday to Friday. The blue recycling bin has an inner caddy for paper. Garden waste is a separate green bin on a paid annual subscription, collected fortnightly from April. Have your bins at your property boundary by 7am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from South Tyneside. You can also check the council's own page at southtyneside.gov.uk.
