Bin collections

We collect more than 2,500 tonnes of waste each week from households throughout Belfast.

Most of it is disposed in black, blue or brown bins, but some is also collected in kerbside recycling boxes, food caddies and home composters.

We also provide an assisted lift and bulky waste collection service for residents and a commercial waste service for businesses.

In this section, you can check what to put in each bin, as well as bin collection times and information about how to order a new bin.
