What colour bin is being collected this
week?
Waveney District Council operates a ‘three bin scheme’ and
‘alternative weekly collections’. Waste is collected on a two-week
rotational basis. One week we collect the rubbish for landfill in
the black wheelie bin and the next we collect the material for
recycling in the blue and green bins. You just need to know what
round/calendar you are on.
Am I on round/calendar A or B?
The shortcut letters below will take you to the page showing Road,
Parish and Round (A or B) for roads beginning with that
letter. Once you know which round you are on you can use the
Collection Calendar to find out your
collection details.

What time will you collect my bin?
You may think that your collection happens at the same time each
week, but please don’t rely on this as it may cause you to miss
your collection. Bins must be out by
7.00am on your
collection day . Please return your bin to your property
as soon as possible after it has been emptied.
What about Bank Holidays?
We
DO collect on the following Bank Holiday
days:
- Good Friday Bank Holiday
- Easter Bank Holiday Monday
- Early May Bank Holiday Monday
- Spring Bank Holiday Monday
- August Bank Holiday Monday
However, we
do not collect on bank holidays over
the Christmas/New Year period. The days affected over this period
change each year and so we will tell you of our special
arrangements on this website (usually highlighted on the homepage)
and in the local press (e.g. The Lowestoft and Beccles & Bungay
Journal and The Waveney Advertiser).
