Bin collections
To minimise delays, please follow these guidelines:
- Put your bins out early, before 6am and leave them out until they’ve been emptied.
- Be considerate when parking your car on your collection day. Sometimes our collection vehicles really struggle to turn into and along roads easily.
- Put the right items in the right bins. Use the Surrey Recycles search tool to find out what goes in which bin.
- Reduce the amount of waste you produce. Consider using an alternative reusable item. Read these tips on how to reduce the amount of waste you produce.
- Empty, wash and squash your recycling into bins as much as possible to maximise space and only put bins out when they’re full.
- Start composting at home. You can buy a compost bin at a reduced rate, but if you’d like to compost all your food waste, consider buying a waste digester.
