Never miss a Eastbourne bin day again

Eastbourne Borough Council collects bins across the seaside town on the East Sussex coast, with its waste service run under the Environment First partnership. Refuse and recycling are collected fortnightly, and a weekly food waste service has now rolled out across the borough.

How Eastbourne bin collections work

Between the fortnightly black and blue bins, the paid green garden bin and the weekly food caddy, Eastbourne's schedule is easy to lose track of. My Bin Day sends a friendly text the evening before each collection so the right bin is always out by 7am. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Eastbourne?

Eastbourne collects the black general-waste bin and the blue mixed-recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy collected alongside. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £89 for the first bin), collected fortnightly from April to March. Disposal is handled by East Sussex County Council.

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 Eastbourne'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 Eastbourne council service?

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