Melton Borough Council covers Melton Mowbray and the surrounding Leicestershire villages. Note the colour scheme: here the brown bin is for recycling and the green bin is for garden waste. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with a weekly food waste service arriving in autumn 2026.
Melton's colours catch people out — brown is recycling, green is garden. Between those, the black refuse bin, a new food service and a paid 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. 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 Melton. You can also check the council's own page at melton.gov.uk.
Melton collects the black general-waste bin and the brown recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks. Note the colours: brown is mixed dry recycling here (paper, card, cans, plastics and glass), and the green bin is for garden waste only (a paid Green Waste Club subscription run by Biffa, fortnightly). A weekly food waste service was approved for autumn 2026. Leicestershire 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.

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