Bin colours

Can I ask a simple question. What colour bins do I need? I've seen people with black, green and blue, and others with: black, green and orange. Or black blue and orange.


What are the official bin colours?

Can you clarify what you're talking about?  Bins for what purpose?

@romaniac


the bins people leave outside of houses. Where people leave their waste for collection.


Split in to plastics, glass, general waste etc.

The garbage collection company in your area can tell you.  Typically though...


BLACK - Non recyclable waste

YELLOW – PLASTIC and METAL waste

BLUE – PAPER and CARDBOARD waste

GREEN – glass waste

BROWN – bio-waste

Also ask your neighbours when the days they need to be collected.

To be honest, most bins in my community seem to be second-hand, mostly from Germany, but here they are labeled. So, for me, I go by the words painted/labeled on them.
