Easter bin days

Easter bins

A very happy Easter to you and your family.

This is a friendly reminder that because Easter Monday is a Bank Holiday, your bin collections will be a day later than usual next week.

This will be the case whether it is your brown, green or even garden waste collection that is due. 

You can check your collection day on our website.

Visiting Plymouth's recycling centres

Chelson Meadow

Both of our Household Waste Recycling Centres are open over the Easter weekend.

You can take your waste to Chelson Meadow and Weston Mill between 8.30am and 5.30pm.

Don't forget to bring proof of your Plymouth address. 

Find out which types of waste are accepted at the recycling centres by clicking the link below.

Garden waste

This year's garden waste collections will begin next week.

Please check your collection day here and remember that because of the bank holiday your first collection day may be different from the rest of the season.  

If you haven't signed up yet, it’s not too late, although you will have missed the first collection. Simply click the link below.

Don't want to sign up for garden waste collections this year? That's fine. We know not everyone will want to. 

Please take your garden waste to the Household Waste Recycling Centres, rather than put it in your brown bin. 

If our crews suspect that your brown bin contains garden waste, they may not collect it.


Right stuff, right bin

Over the past few weeks, we've been running a recycling campaign based on #RightStuffRightBin

It's all about clarifying what can go in each bin in a bid to help improve Plymouth's recycling rate.

Did you know that all Easter egg packaging can go in your green bin?

That's the foil, the box and the plastic or cardboard insert.

Not the chocolate, though. Eat the chocolate.

Never waste chocolate.
