Who collects what in Mid Ulster

Mid Ulster District Council runs bin collections, recycling and the household recycling centres for the area. Northern Ireland councils set their own bin colours, so a brown or blue bin here may not mean the same as in England.

Bank holidays and Mid Ulster bin days

When a bank holiday lands on or before your collection day, Mid Ulster may collect as normal or move collections later in the week. These are the next bank holidays in Northern Ireland:

Christmas and New Year cause the biggest changes. See Christmas bin collections for what usually happens.

Recycling rules in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland has 11 councils, each with its own bin colours and rotas. Many use a brown bin for food and garden waste together, a blue bin for mixed recycling and a black or grey bin for general waste. GOV.UK's bin day finder does not cover Northern Ireland, so use your council's own checker or nidirect.
