Never miss a Maldon bin day again

Maldon District Council covers the Essex town on the Blackwater estuary and the surrounding rural and coastal villages. It runs a sack-and-box recycling service — pink sacks for mixed recycling and a kerbside box for glass — alongside fortnightly refuse and a weekly food bin.

How Maldon bin collections work

Maldon sorts recycling into pink sacks and a glass box at the kerb, with a weekly food bin and a paid green garden bin on top. It's a lot to keep straight. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right containers go out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Maldon?

Maldon collects the grey general-waste bin and its recycling containers on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food bin. Recycling goes in pink sacks (paper, card, cans, plastics) with a separate kerbside box for glass bottles and jars. Garden waste is a paid subscription collected fortnightly from a green bin. Essex County Council handles disposal via SUEZ.

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 Maldon'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 Maldon council service?

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