The bin collection schedule varies by location and type of bin. To know exactly which bin is due for collection this week, it is important to check the local council's bin collection calendar or website based on the address. For example:

• Some areas collect household waste and recycling bins on alternate weeks.
• Food waste might be collected weekly.
• In West Berkshire, from September 22, 2025, black bin collections for general waste are every three weeks, recycling fortnightly, and food waste weekly.
• Other councils have their own specific schedules which can be checked by entering the postcode or address on their bin collection page.

If the location is specified, the exact bin collection week can be identified from the local schedule. Could the location or postcode be provided for a precise answer? Otherwise, residents are advised to consult their local council's bin collection day webpage or calendar.
