Tewkesbury bin collections
Small electricals don't need a trip to the tip in Tewkesbury: put them in an untied carrier bag beside your blue bin. The blue bin itself is fortnightly recycling, and the green wheelie bin is general household waste.
Which bin is which in Tewkesbury
Recycling bins need to be out by 7am on collection day.
