Never miss a Gravesham bin day again

Gravesham Borough Council covers Gravesend, Northfleet and the villages of north-west Kent. Uniquely, it keeps general rubbish on a weekly collection while recycling is fortnightly, with a weekly food caddy alongside. Glass is not collected at the kerbside — it goes to recycling centres.

Gravesham keeps refuse weekly but recycling fortnightly, with a weekly food caddy and a paid garden bin — an unusual mix to remember. 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.

Gravesham collects general rubbish weekly (black wheeled bin or sacks) and recycling fortnightly, with a food caddy collected weekly on the same day. The green recycling bin takes paper, card, cans and plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays — but no glass, which goes to recycling centres.

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.

Do you handle bank holidays?

Yes. We track Gravesham's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.
