Bin Collection Day

Which bin for soil, rubble and plasterboard?

Usual answer in the UK

The tip Household waste recycling centre (the tip)

Soil, rubble, bricks and plasterboard are not accepted in any household bin. Most tips take limited amounts, sometimes for a fee.

Does every council do this?

Most councils follow the answer above, but bins and sorting rules are set locally, and a few councils still do things differently. If your bin has a sticker, or your council sent a leaflet, follow that. Enter your postcode to go straight to your council's guidance.
