Everything you need to know about bin collections in Sutton for 2025

Sutton: So, Sutton Council just shared the scoop on how bin collections will roll out in 2025. They’re in charge of picking up our household waste and recycling, which is super important.

They’ve got a bunch of services like general rubbish bins, recycling bins, food waste collections, and even garden waste services. Pretty handy, right?

Now, the collection dates will change depending on where you live in Sutton. To figure out your specific bin day, just hop onto the Sutton Council website.

Make sure your bin is out by 6am on collection day. That’s the magic hour! If it’s not out, you might miss the binmen.

Also, it’s crucial to put your recycling and waste in the right containers. If you don’t, the bin crews might skip your house altogether.

If you live in a house, just leave your bins at the front where they can be easily seen. They need to be on the edge of your property, right by the main road.

If that’s tricky, you can put them on the pavement, but only on collection day. And don’t forget to bring them back in afterward to avoid blocking the path.

If your bins aren’t clearly presented, the binmen will just pass by. So, keep that in mind!

Oh, and Sutton Council has given out caddies for food waste, which follow the same rules as the bins. For wheelie bins, make sure the lid is fully closed; otherwise, they won’t take it.

All general waste should go in the brown wheelie bin. If you don’t have a front yard, just place your recycling and food waste caddies at the front of your property.

For those in flats, leave your bins in the communal collection areas by the designated collection day. But remember, if it’s not at the edge of the property, they won’t collect it.

If your bin has the wrong type of waste or is overflowing, it won’t get picked up. And if you think your bin was missed, just report it on the Sutton Council website.
