Never miss a Northumberland bin day again

Northumberland is one of the largest council areas in England — from Hexham and Ashington up to Berwick, plus miles of coast and countryside — so collection days and rounds vary a lot from place to place. That's exactly why a reminder tied to your own address beats trying to remember a county-wide pattern.

How Northumberland bin collections work

Northumberland County Council collects general waste and blue-bin recycling on alternating fortnights, with garden waste offered as a paid subscription. Recycling goes in loose, clean and dry — you can leave the tops on squashed plastic bottles, but no shredded paper. Because the county covers such a wide, dispersed area, your exact bins, day and round depend heavily on where you live, so it's always worth checking against your own address.

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.

Yes. We track Northumberland's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.
