Cherwell catches people out: the green bin here is your general rubbish, not recycling. Recycling goes in a blue bin (no glass — that's taken to bottle banks), garden and food waste share a brown bin, and there's a weekly food caddy.
Cherwell District Council collects the green bin (general non-recyclable waste) one week, and the blue recycling bin (paper, card, cardboard, tins, cans, and plastic bottles and containers) plus the brown garden waste bin the following week — all on an alternating fortnightly cycle. Glass is not accepted in the blue bin and must be taken to a recycling bank. Food waste is collected weekly using a silver outdoor caddy and indoor caddy. Garden waste in the brown bin is a paid subscription. Note the local quirk: green is your general rubbish here, not recycling. Present bins by 6am (or the night before) on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Cherwell. You can also check the council's own page at cherwell.gov.uk.
Cherwell collects the green (general waste) bin one week, and the blue (recycling, no glass) and brown (garden) bins the next, with a weekly silver food caddy. Note green is general rubbish here, and glass goes to bottle banks. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always put the right bin out.
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.

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