Barnsley "four bins" council have

grey - rubbish
green - garden waste and cardboard (1)(2)
blue - paper (3)
brown - glass and cans
thats par for the course everywhere, or soon will be

Harrow (London) manage with 3: Rubbish (brown IIRC), garden+food (green)
and all other recyclables (blue).

I live in Harrow.

It's brown for decompostables & garden waste, blue for recyclables and
green for everything else. The brown bin is collected every week, and
the other two alternate each week.

Sorry - mixed up brown and green. Rother (East Sussex) use brown for garden.

On a nice warm summers morning, the smell from uncollected festering
brown bins is unfortunately enough to bring up ye breakfast... :-(


I've never taken up Tunbridge Wells concept of sticking food in the brown -
sound's like a recipe for stinkiness as you've indicated.

BTW - do they take glass in the blue?
