Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs or even different councils near a boundary. Always confirm by entering your own address rather than copying a neighbour's schedule.
Some councils offer larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as large families or medical needs. There's usually a fee. Contact your council's waste services team directly.
E-waste (phones, laptops, cables, printers) should never go in any kerbside bin. Most councils have e-waste drop-off points at transfer stations, and some libraries and community centres also accept small items. Check your council's website.
