Curious about bin collections in Croydon? Here’s a quick guide to help you navigate the ins and outs of waste collection in 2025
Croydon: So, let’s talk about bin collections in Croydon. The council takes care of all the household waste and recycling. They’ve got a bunch of services like general rubbish bins, recycling bins, food waste collections, and even garden waste services.
Now, the collection dates can change based on where you live in Croydon. To figure out when your bin gets picked up, just hop onto the Croydon Council website.
Make sure your bin is out by 6am on collection day. The binmen will grab it as long as it’s visible and placed at the edge of your property near the main road.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to leave your bins in the communal waste collection area on the right day. But remember, if your bin isn’t at the edge of your property, they won’t collect it.
Also, if your bin has stuff that belongs in a different bin, it won’t get picked up. And if it’s overflowing or the lid won’t close, you’re out of luck.
If your bin gets missed and you’ve followed all the rules, you need to report it on the council’s website within two working days after 10pm on collection day.
