Never miss a Adur bin day again

Adur (run jointly with Worthing) collects general rubbish and recycling on alternating fortnights, with a new weekly food waste service. The recycling bin has a blue lid and unusually takes plastic film and bags too. Garden waste is a separate paid service.

How Adur bin collections work

Adur District Council collects the general waste bin (dark grey or black lid) and the recycling bin (grey body with a blue lid) on alternating fortnightly weeks. The blue-lidded recycling bin takes glass bottles and jars, cardboard, paper, food and drink cans, foil, aerosols, plastic bottles, pots, tubs, trays, and — unusually — plastic film and bags. Weekly food waste collections are being introduced in a phased rollout from March 2026, using a 5-litre kitchen caddy and a 23-litre outdoor caddy. This information was correct at the time of writing; the council has proposals to change its collection schedule currently under review, so your service may be updated in future. Garden waste goes on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. Present bins by 6am on collection day.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Adur?

Adur collects the general waste bin and the blue-lidded recycling bin on alternating fortnights, with a new weekly food caddy (phased from March 2026) and a paid garden service. The recycling bin takes plastic film too. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know which bin is due.

How much does this cost?

My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.

Do you handle bank holidays?

Yes. We track Adur's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.

Is this an official Adur council service?

No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with Adur or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
