Your brown bin recycling calendar for 2010/11 can be viewed in the downloadable documents section below.

Brown bin collections for 2010/11 started on Monday 1st March 2010. A new calendar specifically for brown bin collections has been designed which is separate from your blue/grey recycling calendar.

Brown bin collections now take place Mondays through Saturdays on a 4-weekly rotational cycle. Each collection route has a specific calendar version associated with it and there are now 24 different collection routes, meaning 24 unique calendar versions.

Along with your recycling calendar you can check the collection day for your street by viewing the A-Z of street names here. This provides you with the facility to find your area, the day of collection and your calendar for your street. Each calendar has a version number on the front of it to refer directly to the street listings.
