Exeter City Council collects bins across Devon's cathedral city. Most households have fortnightly refuse and recycling, with a weekly food waste service being rolled out area by area. Glass is not collected at the kerbside — it goes to recycling banks around the city.
With the black and green bins alternating fortnightly, glass to take to the banks, food waste weekly where it's live and a paid garden bin, Exeter's setup takes some tracking. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so nothing gets missed. 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 Exeter. You can also check the council's own page at exeter.gov.uk.
Exeter collects the black refuse bin and green recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks (some city-centre properties are weekly). The green bin takes paper, card, plastics, cans, cartons and even plastic bags/film loose — but no glass, which goes to recycling banks. Food waste is collected weekly where the rollout has reached your street; other areas are still being added. Garden waste is a paid subscription. Devon 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 Exeter'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 Exeter or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
