Gloucester City Council collects bins across Gloucestershire's cathedral city. It runs a kerbside-sort recycling service — glass, cans and plastics in green boxes, paper and card in a separate blue sack — alongside fortnightly refuse and a weekly food caddy. Some terraced streets are on a weekly sack service instead of a wheeled bin.
Gloucester sorts recycling into boxes and a sack at the kerb, with weekly food, fortnightly refuse and a paid garden bin — a lot to keep track of. 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 Gloucester. You can also check the council's own page at gloucester.gov.uk.
Gloucester collects the general-waste wheeled bin fortnightly (some terraced streets have a weekly sack instead), with recycling and food weekly. Recycling is kerbside-sorted: green boxes for glass, cans, plastic bottles, pots, tubs, trays, foil and cartons, and a blue sack for paper and cardboard. Food waste goes in a brown caddy weekly. Garden waste is a separate paid subscription (around £60 a year) collected fortnightly from a green wheeled bin. Gloucestershire 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 Gloucester'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 Gloucester or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
