Bin day
BIN-day
Informal Neutral
What it really means
The weekly or fortnightly day when the council collects your rubbish and recycling. Each colour bin (general waste, recycling, food, garden) may go out on different days. Put bins out the night before and bring them in after — neighbours notice if you do not.
Chinese explanation
地方政府每周或每两周收垃圾和可回收物的日子。不同颜色的垃圾桶（普通垃圾、可回收、厨余、园艺）收取日可能不同。前一晚把桶推出去，收完拉回来——不这么做邻居会有意见。
Example conversation
A: Which bin goes out tonight?
B: Blue recycling this week — check the council’s website for the calendar.
A：今晚该推哪个垃圾桶出去？
B：这周是蓝色可回收桶——收运日历可以查地方政府网站。
