About bin collections in Kirklees Council
Kirklees Council serves around 190,000 households across the metropolitan borough, from Huddersfield at its centre to Dewsbury, Batley and Heckmondwike in the east and the Pennine valleys of Holmfirth and Slaithwaite in the west. General waste and recycling alternate fortnightly — they are never collected in the same week. Full service information is at kirklees.gov.uk/bins.
The grey wheelie bin is for non-recyclable general household waste. The green wheelie bin accepts all mixed dry recycling in one container — paper, card, plastic bottles and containers, glass bottles and jars, metal cans and aerosols. No need to separate materials; leave items loose, no bags. Note: Kirklees uses grey for general waste and green for recycling — the reverse of some neighbouring councils. A brown garden bin is available by paid subscription, collected fortnightly for most of the year with a winter break.
Report missed collections by calling 01484 414700 or at kirklees.gov.uk/bins. The main HWRC is at Acre Street, Crosland Moor, Huddersfield, HD4 5AH — open seven days a week. Bank holiday collections shift by one working day; amended schedules published at kirklees.gov.uk/bins.
