Never miss a North Devon bin day again

North Devon Council covers Barnstaple, Ilfracombe, South Molton and the villages of the north Devon coast and countryside. It runs a kerbside-sort recycling service into a box and bags, with weekly recycling and food but fortnightly refuse.

Common questions

When are bins collected in North Devon?

North Devon collects recycling and food waste weekly, with the black rubbish bin collected fortnightly. Recycling is kerbside-sorted: a box for paper, cans, tins, plastics, glass, foil and textiles, and a brown bag for cardboard and brown paper. Food waste goes in a kerbside caddy weekly. Garden waste is a paid subscription (green wheelie bin) collected fortnightly. Devon 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 North Devon'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 North Devon council service?

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