Never miss a Broxbourne bin day again

Broxbourne collects general rubbish in a black bin, with recycling sorted into kerbside boxes, alternating week about. Food waste is collected weekly, and garden waste is a paid green bin.

How Broxbourne bin collections work

Broxbourne Borough Council collects the black bin (180 litres, general non-recyclable waste) fortnightly, and kerbside recycling boxes on the alternate week — for glass, paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, tubs, pots and trays, and cans (kept loose, not in carrier bags). Food waste is collected weekly using a brown kitchen caddy emptied into a food waste bin. Garden waste goes in a green 240-litre bin on a paid annual subscription, collected fortnightly. As part of the Hertfordshire Waste Partnership, plastic film and carrier bags are not accepted at the kerbside. Present containers by 6am on collection day.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Broxbourne?

Broxbourne collects the black (general waste) bin and kerbside recycling boxes on alternating fortnights, with a weekly brown food caddy and a paid green garden bin. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know what's due.

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 Broxbourne'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 Broxbourne council service?

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