Ipswich Borough Council collects bins across the Suffolk county town. From June 2026 it moved to a new recycling service with two recycling bins — a blue bin for containers and a green-lidded bin for paper and card — alongside fortnightly refuse and a weekly food caddy.
Ipswich's new service splits recycling between a blue bin and a green-lidded bin, with a weekly food caddy and a paid brown garden bin on top. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right bin goes out. 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.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Ipswich. You can also check the council's own page at ipswich.gov.uk.
Since June 2026 Ipswich collects the black general-waste bin and its two recycling bins on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy. The blue bin takes plastics, plastic films, glass, cartons and cans; the green-lidded bin takes cardboard, paper and books. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £50 a year) collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Suffolk County Council handles disposal.
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.
Yes. We track Ipswich's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.
No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with Ipswich or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
