In the weeks of August 10 and 24, that rotates, with Schedule 1 switching to white and Schedule 2 to blue. page, households can see their next bin dates, whether they are on Schedule 1 or Schedule 2, and which colour recycling bin is due out each week. Missed collections normally need to be reported within three working days of the scheduled bin day.
