Overview
We are committed to making waste disposal simple, convenient, and environmentally friendly for every household. Here is how our service works:
Batteries
Do not dispose of batteries in any bin. If damaged, they can spark fires that are hard to put out and pose serious danger. For more information, see the Batteries section on Surrey County Council
Collections
- Food Waste: All cooked and raw food scraps, peelings, tea bags, and coffee grounds are collected every week to keep your kitchen fresh and odor-free.
- Recycling: Clean, dry paper, cardboard, cans, glass and approved plastics are collected every two weeks to help you do your part for the planet.
- Refuse (General Waste): Non-recyclable items such as nappies, broken household goods and contaminated packaging are collected every two weeks.
Tips for a Smooth Collection
- Check the collection calendar for exact dates.
- Put your bins out by 6:00 am on your collection day at the nearest vehicle access point (in very hot weather, collections may start from 5am for crew safety).
- Keep lids closed and bins tidy.
Bins at Your Property
All bins belong to Runnymede Borough Council. If you move home, please leave the bins at the property so they’re ready for the next residents.
If a bin is missing or damaged, you can report it easily through our requests and reports service.
Together we can reduce waste and create a cleaner, greener community.
