Blue bag collection

How the blue bag collection works

The council provides an annual allowance of 54 x 90 litre blue bags for properties that don't have space to store a 180 litre bin, or if your road is not accessible for our refuse lorry. This is the same volume as a household with a fortnightly collection of a 180 litre black bin.

• Check on the find my collection page if you're not sure if your property is eligible for blue bag use.

To ensure that you don't run out of bags before the next delivery, we advise households on a weekly collection, to place 1 blue bag out each week with their recycling bags, and food waste bins.

If you have a fortnightly rubbish collection, we advise putting out a maximum of two bags per collection.

Crews will not collect more than 2 blue bags per property on collection day.

Try to recycle as much of your waste as you can. Consider the green recycling bags, food waste bins, chargeable garden waste scheme and bring banks throughout the borough. Our goal is to reduce the amount of general waste collected so please do all you can to reduce the amount you produce.

If you run out of blue bags, you can purchase blue bags using the form below. After purchasing they must be collected in person from Wokingham Borough Council, Shute End, Wokingham RG40 1BN.

Cost

• £11.20 for a roll of 10 bags
