Never miss a Harrow bin day again

Harrow collects recycling and food waste weekly, with general rubbish and garden waste on alternating fortnights. General waste is a green or grey bin, a blue bin takes mixed recycling, food goes in a small black caddy, and garden waste is a paid brown bin.

How Harrow bin collections work

The London Borough of Harrow collects the green or grey bin (general, non-recyclable household waste) and the brown garden waste bin on alternating fortnightly weeks (garden waste is a paid subscription). The blue recycling bin (paper, card, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, tins, cans, aerosols, clean foil and cartons — washed and loose) is collected fortnightly. The black food waste caddy is collected weekly — use bio bags or newspaper, never plastic bags. Present bins by 6am on collection day.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Harrow?

Harrow collects the blue (mixed recycling) bin fortnightly and the black food caddy weekly, with the green/grey (general waste) bin and the paid brown garden bin on alternating fortnights. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know which bin is due.

How much does this cost?

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

Is this an official Harrow council service?

No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with Harrow or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
