In Brent, the blue bin is for waste and household items that can be recycled. This bin is collected every week.
If you live in a house on the North Circular (A406) you will have clear bags for recycling instead of a bin.
Use our bin collection day finder to find the day of your recycling collection.
What goes in your blue bin
You can recycle most plastic, paper, cardboard, glass foil and cans in your blue bin or recycling bags. Please see the list below for details of what you can and can’t place in this bin.
Use the Brent Recycleopedia to look up day to day household items and find out what bin they go in or if you need to take them to a recycling site or request a special collection.
Anything you can’t recycle needs to go in the general waste (grey bin).
