In Bristol, most houses have a kerbside recycling and residents sort recyclable materials into different containers before putting them out for collection. This helps our crews complete their rounds faster and more efficiently, and means we gather high quality recycling. Flats are more likely to use larger shared bins, called a Mini Recycling Centre. On this page you’ll find links to more information about both systems.

Non-recyclable waste is collected fortnightly and recycling is collected weekly. Download your collection calendar to find out which day you should put out your bins, boxes and blue bag for cardboard.
