House collection

Barking and Dagenham council provide a blue box and orange recycling bags, delivered each quarter to help you recycle.

They collect your recycling every week on the same day as they collect your rubbish. To find out when this is, go to the council’s website. Please leave your recycling bags and box inside the boundary of your property – not on the pavement – by 6.30am on your collection day.
