Doncaster bin collections

New brown bin: hold on before you use it

Doncaster is delivering a brown wheelie bin to homes now. Once the new service starts, plastics, cans and cartons go in the brown bin and the blue bin takes only paper and card. Collections begin in 2027, area by area, and the council will tell you when yours starts. Until then, leave the brown bin empty and carry on as you are.

Doncaster: brown bin recycling

Which bin is which in Doncaster

Black bin for rubbish, blue bin for recycling and a green box for glass bottles and jars. Bins and boxes need to be out by 7am.

Garden waste: £47.50 a year

An extra green bin is £47.50 a year, and each one after that is £36, paid upfront. There's no reduction for joining partway through the year and no refunds. Extra bins need a permit on show, and collections are fortnightly from March.
