The London Borough of Redbridge collects rubbish every week and recycling fortnightly, both on the same day. Garden waste is also collected fortnightly. Food waste collections are being rolled out across the borough and are not yet available at all addresses.
The black bin accepts non-recyclable household waste. The blue recycling bin accepts paper and card (flattened), glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, pots and tubs, metal tins and cans — please rinse items and leave them loose, not in plastic bags. The green garden bin accepts grass cuttings, leaves, hedge trimmings and small branches.
Bins must be out by 6 am on your collection day. Report a missed collection within 24 hours at redbridge.gov.uk. Collections may be adjusted around bank holidays — check the council website for confirmed alternative dates.
