Hartlepool collects your green general waste bin and grey recycling bin on alternating fortnights — one week refuse, the next recycling. Which one is due this week is the easy thing to lose track of, and there's no going back for a fortnight if you miss it.
Hartlepool Borough Council runs an alternating fortnightly collection: green bin (general waste) one week, grey bin (recycling) the next. Garden waste is a paid seasonal brown-bin subscription. Collections run Tuesday to Friday — have your bin out by 7:30am (but no earlier than 7pm the night before). Bank holiday Mondays don't affect collections, except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Hartlepool. You can also check the council's own page at hartlepool.gov.uk.
Hartlepool collects the green (general waste) and grey (recycling) bins fortnightly on alternating weeks, Tuesday to Friday, with garden waste a paid seasonal service. Your exact day depends on your address — My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always put the right bin out.
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.

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