Torbay collects recycling and food waste weekly, sorted into two boxes and a paper bag, while general rubbish goes in a black bin every fortnight. Coastal properties use seagull-proof sacks instead of wheelie bins.
Torbay Council (with SWISCo) collects the black wheelie bin (general, non-recyclable rubbish) every fortnight. Recycling is collected weekly, sorted into two boxes — one for glass and one for mixed recyclables (plastics, tins, cans, foil, aerosols and small electricals) — plus a blue bag for paper. Food waste is collected weekly in a caddy. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. Properties unsuitable for wheelie bins use seagull-proof sacks and usually get weekly rubbish collection. Present all containers at the boundary by 6am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Torbay. You can also check the council's own page at torbay.gov.uk.
Torbay collects general rubbish in a black bin fortnightly, with weekly recycling sorted into two boxes (glass, and mixed) plus a paper bag, a weekly food caddy, and a paid brown garden bin. Coastal homes use seagull-proof sacks. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know what to sort out.
