Never miss a Arun bin day again

Arun overhauled its collections in spring 2026: general rubbish moved to fortnightly, with a new weekly food waste caddy. Recycling is a green bin with a blue lid, and garden waste is a separate paid 'Green Waste Club' service.

How Arun bin collections work

Arun District Council collects the black bin (180 litres, general non-recyclable waste) fortnightly, and the green bin with a blue lid (dry mixed recycling — paper, card, glass, food and drink cans, and plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays) fortnightly on the alternate week. Food waste is collected weekly using a grey outdoor caddy with an orange lid and a 5-litre kitchen caddy — this service began on 13 April 2026. Garden waste goes on a paid 'Green Waste Club' subscription. Present all containers by 6am on collection day.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Arun?

Arun collects the black (general waste) bin and the green-with-blue-lid recycling bin on alternating fortnights, with a weekly food caddy (from April 2026) and a paid Green Waste Club garden service. 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 Arun'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 Arun council service?

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