WHICH BIN?
The grey bin is for general rubbish that is not recyclable.The green lid bin is for recyclable material. Green garden bins are for garden rubbish. The small brown bin is for food waste. A smaller brown caddy to collect the food waste is supplied for your kitchen. Use your own bags to line these as the green plastic bags ar no longer supplied and put them in the larger brown bin every week. The brown food waste bin is emptied every week. The other bins are emptied on alternative weeks. See the panel above which shows which bins are due for collection next in Cranfield. You can have garden waste collected at the same time as the recycling bin if you subscribe to the chargeable service (see below).
