Household waste - domestic bins

Central Bedfordshire Council usually provides 240 litre bins for it's waste collection service.

The majority of households will have a black bin for refuse, however some households need a different size according to their need or property type. A small proportion of residents have their refuse collected in sacks dependant upon their location.

Residents in the north area of Central Bedfordshire (the old Mid Beds district) currently have a 240 litre bin with a green lid for recyclables, re-usable green bags for garden waste, and a brown 20 litre caddy for the collection of food waste.

Residents in the south area of Central Bedfordshire (the old South Beds district) also have black bins for residual waste together with a 240 litre bin with an orange lid for recyclables and a 240 litre green bin for the collection of garden waste.
