Erewash Borough Council covers Ilkeston, Long Eaton and the surrounding Derbyshire towns near the Nottinghamshire border. Refuse and recycling are collected fortnightly, and a weekly food waste service launched across the borough on 31 March 2026.
With the black and blue bins alternating fortnightly, a weekly food bin and a paid brown garden bin, it's easy to send the wrong container out in Erewash. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so you're always ready by 7am. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Erewash. You can also check the council's own page at erewash.gov.uk.
Erewash collects the black general-waste bin and blue recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with food waste collected weekly from your green outdoor food bin. Glass, cartons and the usual dry recyclables go in the blue bin (or green reusable bags if you don't have a bin). Garden waste is a paid subscription collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Derbyshire County Council handles disposal.
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 Erewash'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 Erewash or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
