Sutton swaps the usual colours around: the brown bin is your general rubbish, not garden waste, and the green bin (plus a green box for glass) is recycling. Food waste is collected weekly, and garden waste goes in a green bin with a brown lid.
The London Borough of Sutton collects the brown wheelie bin (general non-recyclable waste) every fortnight, and recycling on the alternate week: a green wheelie bin for paper, card and plastics, plus a green box for glass bottles and jars, tins, cans, cartons and plastic containers. Food waste is collected weekly using a kitchen caddy and outdoor caddy. Garden waste goes in a green wheelie bin with a brown lid on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. Note the local quirks: brown is your general rubbish here, not garden waste, and the garden bin is the green one with a brown lid. Present containers by 6am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Sutton. You can also check the council's own page at sutton.gov.uk.
Sutton collects the brown (general waste) bin and the green recycling bin (plus a green glass box) on alternating fortnights, with a weekly food caddy and a paid green-with-brown-lid garden bin. Note the quirk — brown is general rubbish here, not garden waste. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always put the right bin out.
