Bins and Recycling

Collection Details

Please place your waste on the edge of your property by 06:30 am on the day of collection, ensuring that all your waste is inside the bin. Only waste inside the wheeled bins will be taken. Make sure you do not overfill your wheeled bin. If your bin is too heavy to move, it will not be emptied.

Grey bin: every other Tuesday (general waste)
Blue bin: alternate Tuesdays (recycling)
Green bin: alternate Wednesdays (garden/green waste)

Bank Holidays

No collections will take place on bank holidays. During all weeks containing a bank holiday, collections will take place one day later.

To find out more about refuse collection times during holiday periods, please check the Huntingdonshire District Council Refuse Collection Information application on their website.

Assisted Collections

The collection team can come and collect your waste or recycling from its normal storage place, take it to the collection vehicle for emptying and then return the container where appropriate.

Assisted collections are only available for householders that are unable to take their waste out for collection themselves.

This may include:

    • People with disabilities
    • The infirm or elderly
    • The visually impaired

The Council is unable to provide this service where there is a person living in the household that can take the waste out on collection day.
