Never miss a Herefordshire bin day again

Herefordshire runs a black bin for rubbish and a green bin for all your mixed recycling, alternating week about, with a separate paid brown bin for garden waste. The council has been expanding its recycling service, so some properties may have extra containers for paper and card or food.

How Herefordshire bin collections work

Herefordshire Council collects the black bin (or black sacks — non-recyclable general waste, including food waste where a separate food service isn't yet in place) one week, and the green recycling bin (paper, card, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, tubs and trays, tins and cans — clean and loose) the next. Properties without wheelie bins get clear recycling sacks and a box for glass. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. Small electricals and batteries can be left on top of the bin. Present bins by 7am on collection day.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Herefordshire?

Herefordshire collects the black (general waste) and green (mixed recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, with a paid brown garden bin. Some properties have additional containers as the recycling service expands. 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 Herefordshire'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 Herefordshire council service?

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