We provide printed bin calendars in the Spring issues of the CityLife magazine.
An easy way to check your bin day is just have a look out the window and see what bins you neighbours are putting out.
New builds
If you are in a new build or part of new development you should phone 0191 278 7878 and ask for "Envirocall" to check your collection days. This is because it can take some time for new build addresses and postcodes to get updated.
Bank Holidays
There can be revisions to bin collections on bank holidays depending on what day they fall. They will show on the calendars provided in CityLife. We will also update our social medial with any changes.
Garden waste - brown bins
Brown bin calendars are provided on the sign up documentation you receive when you join the scheme.
If you have any problems with the MyNeighbourhood forms please phone 0191 278 7878 and ask for "Envirocall."
You can also find out your bin days by registering with the WasteBot.
