Durham County Council provides several types of bins for waste collection:
| Type of Bin | Description | Collection Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Rubbish Bin | General waste bin for non-recyclable items. | Regular scheduled collection |
| Recycling Bin | Container for recyclable materials; specific bin type may vary by location (blue-lidded bins or communal bins). | Regular scheduled collection |
| Food Waste Caddy | Each household receives a 23-litre external caddy and a 7-litre internal caddy for food waste. | Collected weekly |
| Garden Waste Bin | For collected garden debris, provided on request; only council-issued bins will be emptied. | Seasonal collection (requires subscription) |
If you're interested in more details about what can go into each bin, you can find guidance on what goes in which bin. Additionally, for garden waste, you can request a bin or extra bin as needed; more information is available on the garden waste terms and conditions.
