Fenland District Council covers Wisbech, March, Chatteris and Whittlesey in the Cambridgeshire fens. Note the colour trap: in Fenland the green bin is for general rubbish, not recycling. Refuse and recycling are collected fortnightly, with a free weekly food waste service launching in 2026.
Fenland's green bin catches people out — it's for general rubbish, not recycling. Between that, the blue recycling bin, the paid brown garden bin and the new food caddy, it's easy to get muddled. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right bin is always out. 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 Fenland. You can also check the council's own page at fenland.gov.uk.
Fenland collects the green general-waste bin and the blue recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks. Be careful — the green bin is for non-recyclable rubbish here, not garden or recycling waste. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected the same week as the blue bin. A free weekly food waste collection is being introduced across Fenland during 2026. Cambridgeshire 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 Fenland'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 Fenland or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
