Scottish Borders Council provides a four-stream household collection service across the region, covering general residual waste, mixed recycling, food waste, and garden waste. Grey bins for general residual waste are collected fortnightly. Blue bins for mixed recycling are also collected fortnightly, on alternating weeks to the grey bin. Green food waste caddies are collected weekly. Brown bins for garden waste are collected fortnightly from April to November — this service is free of charge, with no subscription required.
The blue recycling bin accepts paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles and tubs, food tins, and steel and aluminium cans. Do not place textiles, nappies, polystyrene, or electrical items in the blue bin.
The food waste caddy accepts all cooked and uncooked food scraps, including meat, fish, dairy, and fruit and vegetable peelings. Use compostable liners or newspaper to wrap food waste before placing it in the caddy.
Scottish bank holidays differ from England and Wales — Scotland observes additional holidays including 2 January and 30 November (St Andrew's Day). When a bank holiday falls on a collection day, Scottish Borders Council typically delays all collections in that round by one working day. To report a missed collection, call 0300 100 1800 or use the online form at scotborders.gov.uk.
