South Tyneside Bin Collection Quick Facts
South Tyneside Council provides household waste, recycling, garden waste and bulky waste services across South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn, Boldon, Cleadon, Whitburn and nearby communities. The safest way to check your collection is by postcode on the official council calendar.
Official link: Open South Tyneside bins and recycling
South Tyneside Council says residents should put bins out for collection by 7:30am, keep the lid closed and return the bin to the property once it has been emptied. These rules matter because late presentation or an overflowing bin can stop a missed-bin report from being treated as valid.

What This South Tyneside Bin Collection Guide Covers
How to Check South Tyneside Bin Collection Day
The best way to check your South Tyneside bin collection day is to use the official council calendar. Enter your postcode and choose your address to see the next 3 months of scheduled bin collections for your property.
Official link: Open South Tyneside bin collection calendar
Open the official postcode calendar
Use South Tyneside Council’s own bin collection dates page. This is safer than using an old printed calendar, old strike update or neighbour’s routine.
Enter your postcode carefully
For older residents, copy the postcode from a council tax letter, utility bill or NHS letter. Small postcode mistakes can show the wrong street or no result.
Check grey, blue and green dates separately
Your grey household bin, blue recycling bin and paid green garden waste bin may not follow the same pattern. Check each date, not just the next visible bin.
Put the correct bin out by 7:30am
Collection crews can arrive early. Put your bin out by 7:30am, close the lid and return it to your property once emptied.
For households in South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn, Boldon, Whitburn, Cleadon and Marsden, the rule is the same: use the postcode calendar rather than copying another area’s date.

Check the collection date first
Make sure your bin was actually due. Use the postcode calendar because holiday changes and service updates can affect normal routines.

Make sure the lid was closed and the bin was accessible. Blocked access, parked cars, snow, ice or roadworks can affect collections.
Report by the next working day
Use the official missed bin form by the end of the next working day after your bin was due. The council says it will arrange to empty the reported bin as soon as possible after receiving the form.

Official link: Check current bank holiday collection dates
Do not assume one-day delay
Some councils move collections by a day; others publish specific holiday dates. Use South Tyneside’s current calendar.

Write revised dates down
When holiday changes appear, write them on paper and place the note by the door or fridge.
