Never miss a Maidstone bin day again

Maidstone Borough Council covers the Kent county town and surrounding villages, part of the Mid Kent Waste Partnership. Unusually it keeps general rubbish on a weekly collection, with recycling fortnightly and a weekly food bin alongside.

How Maidstone bin collections work

Maidstone keeps refuse weekly but recycling fortnightly, with a weekly food bin and a paid garden bin — an unusual mix to track. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right container goes out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
