Waste collections from your home

Stockton Council operates a weekly collection service of non-recyclable household waste.

Jubilee Bank Holidays - Monday, 4 and Tuesday, 5 June

There are no changes to waste and recycling collections as a result of the Jubille Bank Holidays. You should put out your waste and recycling on your usual collection day.

Domestic waste collection arrangements

We collect waste from domestic properties across the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees on a designated day (from Tuesday through to Friday) each week. This system means there are no changes to refuse collection arrangements following Bank Holiday Mondays.

Find out when we collect waste and recycling from your home

Please ensure that you have your wheeled bin or black bags out at the kerbside before 7am on the morning of collection, and remove your bin as soon as you can once it has been emptied.

Green, wheeled bins scheme for domestic waste

Most domestic properties are supplied with a green, wheeled bin for the storage of waste.

Newly-built properties will be supplied with a green, wheeled bin free-of-charge. We aim to deliver bins (subject to availability) within five working days of a request being made.

A replacement wheeled bin will cost £25 each including VAT and delivery.

Request a new or replacement green, wheeled bin

We will only empty one green, wheeled bin per household and will no longer take any side waste.

We realise that larger families produce more waste, so we offer these households the use of a larger green, wheeled bin. If you think you need a larger bin please contact us and we will arrange for a needs assessment application form to be sent to you.

Black bag scheme for domestic waste

In some areas a 'black bag' scheme is in operation. Properties are supplied with 52 black bags once a year in January. Additional bags are available for purchase at 12p each.

Help putting your waste and recycling out for collection

We offer an assisted collection service for those customers who are unable to move their green, wheeled bin to the collection point and where there are no other able bodied persons available to assist. If you would like to be considered for this service please contact us.
