Harborough District Council covers Market Harborough, Lutterworth and the villages of south Leicestershire. Note the colour trap: here the green bin is for garden waste, not recycling. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with a weekly food caddy launched in late 2025.
Harborough's green bin is for garden waste, not recycling — an easy one to get wrong. Between that, the blue-lidded recycling bin, the black refuse bin and the new food caddy, My Bin Day keeps you right with a text the evening before each collection. 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 Harborough. You can also check the council's own page at harborough.gov.uk.
Harborough collects the black general-waste bin and the blue-lidded recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy introduced in late 2025. The green bin is for garden waste only and needs a paid subscription (around £61 a year), collected fortnightly. Leicestershire 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 Harborough'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 Harborough or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
