What Bins Do I Put Out And When?

AI Summary

Coventry says to put your bin out by 7am at the kerbside, with the handles facing the road. For general waste, use the green-lidded bin; for recycling, use the blue-lidded bin.

Bin type What goes in it Collection frequency Putting it out
Blue-lidded recycling bin Foil, cans, glass bottles and jars, newspapers, magazines, cardboard, drink cartons, aerosols, mixed paper and card, mixed glass, plastic bottles, plastic food trays, food pots and tubs Every fortnight By 7am at the kerbside, handles facing the road
Green-lidded rubbish bin Items that cannot be reused, recycled or composted; small quantities of polystyrene can go in it if bagged Every other week By 7am at the kerbside, handles facing the road
