Never miss a Hastings bin day again

Hastings Borough Council collects bins across the East Sussex seaside town. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, and a new weekly food waste service launched on 30 March 2026 as part of the county-wide East Sussex rollout.

How Hastings bin collections work

With the black and blue bins alternating fortnightly, a new weekly food caddy and a paid brown garden bin, Hastings' schedule is easy to lose track of. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so you're always ready by 6:30am. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Hastings?

Hastings collects the black general-waste bin and the blue recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy (orange and grey bins) introduced on 30 March 2026. Garden waste is a paid seasonal permit collected fortnightly from a brown bin, running March to November. East Sussex County Council handles disposal.

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 Hastings'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 Hastings council service?

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