Havering collects black sacks, orange recycling sacks, and garden waste separately. Black sacks are for general household waste, orange sacks are for recycling, and garden waste has its own collection for things like grass cuttings and hedge trimmings.
| Bin/sack | What goes in it | When to put it out |
|---|---|---|
| Black sacks | General household waste only | Once a week, just inside your property boundary nearest the pavement by 7am on your collection day |
| Orange sacks | Recycling items, using the council’s what-goes-where guide | Once a week, just inside your property boundary nearest the pavement by 7am |
| Garden waste bin / compostable sacks | Flowers and plants, garden weeds, grass cuttings, hedge trimmings, leaves, small twigs and branches | The available information explains what can go in it, but it doesn’t say the collection day or time |
If you want to check what can go in any item, Havering points you to its what item goes where recycling and waste guide. For missed garden waste collections or help putting waste out, the council also links to its missed collection and assisted collections pages.
