Never miss a High Peak bin day again

High Peak Borough Council covers Buxton, Glossop, New Mills and the Derbyshire Peak District towns. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly. A new weekly food waste service started on 14 September 2026, with the green-lidded bin switching to garden waste only.

How High Peak bin collections work

High Peak's food and garden setup is changing — the green-lidded bin is becoming garden-only, with a new weekly food caddy alongside. 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.

Common questions

When are bins collected in High Peak?

High Peak collects the black general-waste bin and the blue recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks. The blue bin takes paper, card, tins and plastics (no glass — glass goes to bring banks). From 14 September 2026 a new weekly food caddy was introduced and the green-lidded bin became garden waste only, needing a paid subscription (around £46 a year, fortnightly). Derbyshire 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 High Peak'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 High Peak council service?

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