Stoke-on-Trent keeps to a grey bin for rubbish and a blue bin for all your mixed recycling, alternating week about. Garden waste is an opt-in paid brown bin, and a weekly food waste caddy is being introduced under new national recycling rules.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council collects the grey bin (general, non-recyclable household waste) and the blue bin (mixed dry recycling — paper, card, plastics, metals, cartons and glass, loose) on alternating fortnightly weeks. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on an opt-in paid subscription (around £40 a year), collected fortnightly on the same week as your blue bin. A separate weekly food waste caddy is being introduced under the national Simpler Recycling rules. Present bins by 6am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Stoke-on-Trent. You can also check the council's own page at stoke.gov.uk.
Stoke-on-Trent collects the grey (general waste) and blue (mixed recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, with a paid opt-in brown garden bin and a new weekly food caddy rolling out. Note grey is general and blue is recycling here. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know which bin is due.
My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.
