Never miss a Enfield bin day again

Enfield collects general rubbish and recycling on alternating fortnights, with food waste every week. Black or grey is rubbish, a blue-lidded bin takes all your mixed recycling, a brown caddy handles food, and garden waste is a paid green-lidded bin.

How Enfield bin collections work

The London Borough of Enfield collects the black or grey bin (general, non-recyclable household waste) and the blue-lidded recycling bin (paper, card, plastics, glass, tins and cans, loose) on alternating fortnightly weeks. Food waste is collected weekly using a brown outdoor food bin and a silver kitchen caddy. Garden waste goes in a green-lidded bin on a paid subscription (around £100 a year), collected fortnightly. Properties unsuitable for bins get grey rubbish sacks and blue recycling sacks, collected weekly. Present containers by 5:30am on collection day.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Enfield?

Enfield collects the black/grey (general waste) and blue-lidded (mixed recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, with a weekly brown food bin 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 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 Enfield'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 Enfield council service?

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