Epsom and Ewell bin collections

By Mark Andrews. Checked against Epsom and Ewell Borough Council pages on 29 October 2026.

Almost everything still goes weekly in Epsom and Ewell: the black bin, the green recycling bin, the glass box, textiles and food. Only garden waste is fortnightly. Bank holiday Mondays and Good Friday don't change anything.

Which bin is which in Epsom and Ewell

Mixed recycling goes in the green bin and glass on its own in the recycling box. Put everything at the edge of your property, clearly visible, from 6.30am.

Garden waste: £74.15 a year

£74.15 per bin from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, non-refundable, and Direct Debit renews it automatically. Waste has to go in loose, no sacks. Collections are fortnightly all year apart from the Christmas and New Year weeks.

Weekly food waste collection

Weekly. Everything goes in apart from bulk liquids, and you're allowed to wrap scraps in plastic bags.

Report a missed bin

For the weekly bins, the crew picks it up on next week's collection day, and you can put the excess in a labelled bag beside the bin. Missed food or garden waste comes back within two working days of you reporting it.
