Braintree has different bins for different waste types, and the grey bin is collected fortnightly all year. You can check your exact collection day online, and each bin has a set time for putting it out.
| Bin/service | What goes out | When to put it out |
|---|---|---|
| Grey bin | General waste that cannot be recycled or composted | By 7am on collection day |
| Food recycling bin | Food waste excluding liquids | Weekly collection |
| Clear recycling sacks | Recycling waste in clear sacks only | By 7am on collection day |
| Blue-lidded recycling bin | Glass, soft plastics, and food/drink cartons | Four-weekly collection |
| Green wheeled bin | Garden waste | By 7am on collection day, or no earlier than the night before |
For the grey bin, Braintree says only waste inside the bin with the lid shut will be collected, and no extra bags on top or beside it. If you want your exact dates, you can check them on Find your bin collection day.
