Better Recycling in 2026

The new Better Recycling waste collection service begins in Suffolk in June 2026.

Ahead of the launch, East Suffolk Council will supply all households in East Suffolk with an additional wheelie bin or other container to collect paper and card separately from plastics, metal, cartons (including Tetra Pak) and glass bottles or jars. Food waste collection caddies will also be provided. Your new recycling bin will have a green lid, and your food caddy will be light grey.

The additional bins and food collection caddies will be delivered over between February and May, and are planned for the end of March for Charsfield.

Please store the new bins safely but please don’t use them until June when the new service starts.

Every household will receive information leaflets in the post explaining the changes.
