Folkestone and Hythe District Council covers Folkestone, Hythe, New Romney and the Romney Marsh villages on the Kent coast. It runs a twin-stream recycling service: a purple-lidded bin for containers and a black box for paper and card kept separate, alongside fortnightly refuse and a weekly food caddy.
With a refuse bin, a purple-lidded recycling bin, a separate black box for paper and card, a weekly food caddy and a paid garden bin, Folkestone and Hythe's setup is easy to muddle. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right containers go out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Folkestone & Hythe. You can also check the council's own page at folkestone-hythe.gov.uk.
Folkestone and Hythe collects the refuse wheeled bin (or purple sacks) and the purple-lidded recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a black box for paper and card collected fortnightly and a green food caddy weekly. Keep paper and card in the black box — the purple-lidded bin is only for plastics, glass and metal. Garden waste is a paid subscription. Kent 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 Folkestone & Hythe'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 Folkestone & Hythe or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
