Which bin should I use?

Most homes in Bexley have three wheeled bins: one for general rubbish and two for recycling. You’ll also get a food waste box and a caddy to use in the kitchen.

Standard waste bins and recycling bin types

Please ensure you place your bins out on the front of your property boundary by 6am on your collection day.

If you live in certain flats or houses, you might have boxes, bags or communal bins to help you recycle. You can find out more about how to sort your recycling using these other services by seeing:

Why is recycling so important?

Recycling is important for the environment, and it also helps us make Bexley better. For example, just by keeping clean paper and card apart from your other recycling, you help save the council around £450,000 a year, which we can spend on other services, like schools and roads.
