Put The Bins Out
How Britain does bins

Britain can’t agree what colour a bin should be.

There is no national standard. When the government asked, only 30% of councils backed one — so it never happened. A brown bin is recycling in one town and garden waste in the next; a grey bin is general rubbish here and recycling there. Put the wrong one out, and you have missed the collection.

30%
of councils backed a single national set of bin colours. Britain still doesn’t have one.

Every one of these is a real UK bin. Not one of them means the same thing everywhere.
