Never miss a Horsham bin day again

Horsham District Council covers the West Sussex town and surrounding villages including Billingshurst, Storrington and Southwater. Note the colour trap: the green-top bin is for general rubbish, not recycling. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, and a weekly food waste service launched in March 2026.

How Horsham bin collections work

Horsham's green-top bin is for general rubbish, not recycling — an easy one to get wrong. Between that, the blue-top recycling bin, the new food caddy and a paid brown garden bin, My Bin Day keeps you right with a text the evening before each collection. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Horsham?

Horsham collects the green-top general-waste bin and the blue-top recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy (grey and orange) introduced in March 2026. Be careful — the green-top bin is for rubbish here, not recycling. The blue-top bin takes paper, card, cans, plastics and glass. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £60 a year) collected fortnightly on the same week as recycling. West 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 Horsham'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 Horsham council service?

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