Find out what day your bins are collected and what we collect from you

If you live on Mull or Iona, your green wheelie bin for general household waste is collected every two weeks.  We also offer a blue bin for recycling paper and card which is collected every two weeks, as well as 2 plastic sacks for recycling plastic and cans, which are collected at the same time as your blue bin.  In addition, we offer a grey wheelie bin for recycling glass, which is collected every four weeks.

For more information on kerbside recycling in the Mull and Iona area, please have a look at the Mull and Iona Recycling Guide, which includes details of what you can put in each bin, and some useful questions and answers about the recycling service in your area.

When are they collected?

You can find out what day your bin is collected on the attached list, which has been sorted alphabetically for the Mull and Iona area.
