Forest of Dean District Council covers Cinderford, Coleford, Lydney and the villages of the Gloucestershire forest and Wye Valley. It runs a kerbside-sort recycling service — sorted into boxes and a bag at the kerb — with weekly recycling and food, fortnightly refuse, and a paid garden waste bin.
Forest of Dean sorts recycling into boxes and a bag at the kerb, with weekly recycling and food but fortnightly refuse — a lot to keep straight. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right containers are out by 7am. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Forest of Dean. You can also check the council's own page at fdean.gov.uk.
Forest of Dean collects dry recycling and food waste weekly, with the black general-waste bin collected fortnightly. Recycling is kerbside-sorted into two green boxes plus a blue bag — glass, cans, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, paper, card and textiles, kept in separate containers. Garden waste is a paid licence collected fortnightly from a green wheeled bin. Gloucestershire County Council handles disposal via Ubico/Biffa.
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 Forest of Dean'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 Forest of Dean or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
