Never miss a Newcastle-under-Lyme bin day again

Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council covers the Staffordshire town next to Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding villages, including the Keele University area. It runs a dual-stream recycling service — a blue bin for containers and a blue bag for paper and card — alongside fortnightly refuse and a weekly food waste collection.

How Newcastle-under-Lyme bin collections work

Newcastle-under-Lyme splits recycling between a blue bin and a blue bag, with a weekly food caddy and a paid brown garden bin on top. It's easy to muddle. 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.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

Newcastle-under-Lyme collects the grey general-waste bin and its recycling containers on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy. The blue bin takes plastics, glass, cans, foil and aerosols; the blue bag takes paper and card. Garden waste is a paid subscription collected fortnightly from a brown-lidded bin. Staffordshire County Council handles disposal.

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 Newcastle-under-Lyme'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 Newcastle-under-Lyme council service?

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