Household bin collection days

Missed Bins - Friday 10 October

Some Blue and Brown bins could not be collected today in some Round A streets in Grays. Some Green and Grey bins could also not be collected in some Round B streets in Grays. Crews will attempt to collect the outstanding bins when they are next out on Monday 13 October. All food waste bins were collected. 

Household bin collection weeks

We collect household waste and recycling green/grey wheeled bins and blue wheeled bins every 2 weeks on alternate weeks. If you've signed-up for garden waste collections, we'll collect your brown wheeled bin in the same weeks as your blue bin. Food bins are collected every week.

The bins we collect from your street each week will depend on whether it's a 'Round A' or 'Round B' street. Collection dates and bin types for 'Round A' and 'Round B' are listed below.

You can check the normal collection day for any street and whether it's a 'Round A' or 'Round B' street by selecting the first letter of the street name:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y

Use our A to Z of recyclable waste to check what should go in each bin.
