When and where should I put my bin out?

You must put your bin out on the street at the edge of your property by 7am on the morning of your collection day.

If you live on a farm or have a private ten foot, you must place your green bin at the collection point we have agreed. This is usually at the nearest point to the public road.

Use our bin collection checker to view collection dates for your property:

Please note: your collections will temporarily change following a bank holiday. Check the bin collection checker to find out when your bins will be collected over these periods.

Can you remind me to put my bin out?

Yes, you can sign up to our text reminder service which will send you reminders for all your different bins the night before they are due to be collected.

Simply search for your property using the online bin collection checker above to get your calendar code. Then text your 'calendar code' to '07507 307088'.

How can I stop receiving text reminders for my bin collections?

Just text STOP followed by your 'calendar code' (do not add any spaces) to 07507 307088, such as 'STOPNW1A'.

Please note: you only need to send one text to stop the reminder service for all your different bins.

Can I change my mobile number for text reminders?

Yes, simply stop the reminders for your old mobile number (only if your old number will be used by somebody else), then sign up for reminders for your new number.

I've moved, can I change my text reminders?

Yes, simply stop the reminders for your old address, then sign up for reminders at your new address.
