Never miss a Stockton bin day again

Since the March 2026 changes, Stockton-on-Tees runs an alternating red-week / blue-week rota — and working out which week you're in, and which containers go out, catches a lot of people out. Miss it and you're waiting a fortnight for general waste.

How Stockton bin collections work

Stockton-on-Tees collects recycling and food waste weekly, with general (non-recyclable) waste every two weeks on an alternating red-week and blue-week pattern. Your calendar's red and blue weeks tell you when general waste goes out. Bins and containers should be at the kerbside by 7am on your collection day.
