Never miss a Kensington & Chelsea bin day again

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is a densely built central-London area of flats and mansion blocks, so most homes use bagged rubbish and communal or clear-bag recycling rather than wheelie bins. Food waste is collected weekly and expanding across the borough.

How Kensington & Chelsea bin collections work

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea collects general rubbish (securely bagged, in dustbins or communal bins) and mixed dry recycling (clear recycling bags or communal recycling bins — paper, card, glass, tins, cans and plastics, loose). Because the borough is mostly flats and mansion blocks, collection frequency is high, often several times a week in central streets, and tenants or owners frequently provide their own bins. Food waste is collected weekly using a kitchen caddy and communal outdoor food bins, a service being expanded borough-wide. Garden waste is a paid subscription (limited, as few properties have gardens). It is an offence to put waste out other than on collection days — leave rubbish and recycling out before 7am on your day, not the night before.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Kensington and Chelsea?

Kensington and Chelsea collects bagged rubbish and clear-bag or communal recycling frequently (often several times a week in central streets), with a weekly food waste service and a limited paid garden service. Most homes are flats without wheelie bins. My Bin Day reads your collection schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know what's 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 Kensington & Chelsea'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 Kensington & Chelsea council service?

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