Are bin colours the same everywhere?

No. Colours can differ between countries, cities, operators and even buildings. Use the label and official local instructions.

What if the container colour and label disagree?

Follow the printed label and current official service instruction rather than colour alone.

Can I use this guide for collection dates?

No. Collection schedules can vary by address and should be checked with the local service.
