Bin collection in Wakefield Council

Wakefield Council serves around 160,000 households across the district, covering Wakefield city, Castleford, Pontefract, Ossett, Normanton, Dewsbury, Batley, Morley and the surrounding West Yorkshire towns and villages. Household waste and recycling alternate fortnightly — the black bin and garden waste on one week, the green recycling bin on the other. Full service information is at wakefield.gov.uk/bins.

The black bin is for non-recyclable household waste only — anything that cannot be recycled. The green bin accepts mixed recycling: paper, card, glass bottles and jars, food tins, drink cans, and plastic bottles and containers. Items should be clean, dry and loose — no bags. The brown garden bin (paid subscription) is collected fortnightly on the same day as the black bin, accepting grass clippings, leaves, hedge trimmings, weeds and small branches. Garden waste is not collected if the subscription is not active.

Report missed collections by calling 0345 8 506 506 or at wakefield.gov.uk/bins. HWRCs: Calder Vale Road, Wakefield, WF1 5PH (open 7 days) and Freeston Drive, Normanton, WF6 1TA. Bank holiday collections usually move to the next working day.
