East Staffordshire Borough Council covers Burton upon Trent, Uttoxeter and the surrounding villages. It runs a multi-container recycling service with a separate blue bag for paper and card, and grey general-waste and brown garden/food bins collected on alternating fortnightly weeks.
With a grey bin, a blue bin, a blue bag and a brown bin all on rotation, it's easy to put the wrong one out. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each East Staffordshire collection so you always know exactly what goes to the kerb. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime. 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.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from East Staffordshire. You can also check the council's own page at eaststaffsbc.gov.uk.
East Staffordshire collects the grey general-waste bin one week, then the blue recycling bin, blue paper/card bag and brown bin the next, on an alternating fortnightly cycle. The brown bin takes garden and food waste and requires a paid annual garden subscription. The council is reviewing its service under the government's Simpler Recycling rules, so arrangements may change.
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.
Yes. We track East Staffordshire's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.
No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with East Staffordshire or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
