Bins, recycling and rubbish

• Check when your bin will be emptied

• What goes in which bin

• Find a recycling point or rubbish tip

• Report a missed household bin collection

• Request a bin or a permit for an additional green bin

• Arrange a bulky waste collection

Permits for additional green bins from October 2019 to September 2020 will be issued by the end of November. Most permits are scheduled to be sent out in the second half of November – yellow permits remain valid in the meantime, if you have any.

If you run a local business, talk to the Greater Cambridge Shared Waste Commercial Service about your recycling and waste needs. They can help you reduce the amount of waste you produce and save money by recycling more.
