Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Mid Suffolk introduced its new waste-collection arrangements on 1 June 2026, with weekly food collections and three-weekly collections of rubbish, paper and card, and mixed recycling. Existing green-lidded bins became paper-and-card containers, while new blue-lidded bins take glass, plastics, metal and cartons.
The council says separate paper collections should improve recycling quality and value. It recognises storage and capacity concerns: households can discuss smaller bins or sacks, and larger families or people with medical requirements may qualify for extra capacity. Bottle banks are expected to be phased out over the coming years.
