Recycling calendars

The council’s recycling collection service picks up from homes in Medway every fortnight on the same day of the week as rubbish for landfill is collected. Find out your collection day.

Improved collection services

Recycling calendars

New recycling calendars are delivered out to every household from the end of October each year. Identifying the correct recycling calendar depends on your specific area information. Because recycling collections are every other week and we collect from five different areas a week, this creates 10 possible calendars. To ensure you receive the correct information on your exact recycling collection week, or to request a new calendar to be sent out, please phone Customer First. The contact details are listed below.

To help you recycle more, you will receive clear plastic bags for recycling every 13 weeks. If you need more, you can collect them from council contact points or your local library.

Please put your recycling out by 7am on your usual recycling collection day. Rubbish that cannot be recycled should be put out in black sacks on your usual rubbish collection day. These are not provided by the council, so you will need to buy these yourself from local shops.

Please call Customer First if:

  • you have lost your reusable recycling bag/s;
  • you have never received your reusable recycling bag/s;
  • your reusable recycling bag/s are damaged.

Please note that if your waste or recycling is missed, you must notify the council within 24 hours.
