In Coventry, waste collection includes specific types of waste for different bin categories. Here’s a breakdown of what you can place in each type of household bin:
| Bin Type | Accepted Waste |
|---|---|
| Blue-lidded Bin | Recycling items like glass, plastics, cans, and cardboard. |
| Brown-lidded Bin | Compostable garden waste, such as leaves and twigs. Food waste can also be composted here. |
| Green-lidded Bin | General rubbish that cannot be recycled or composted, including soft plastics, polystyrene in small quantities, and broken glass (wrapped for safety). |
For items not eligible for kerbside collection, Coventry provides alternatives at the Household Recycling and Reuse Centre, where you can take things like cooking oil, unwanted electronics, and various large appliances.
