Never miss a Norwich bin day again

Norwich City Council collects bins across the Norfolk county city. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with a weekly food waste collection. Some terraced streets use black sacks (collected weekly) and blue recycling sacks instead of wheeled bins.

How Norwich bin collections work

With the black and blue bins alternating fortnightly, a weekly food bin and a paid brown garden bin, Norwich's schedule is 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 Norwich?

Norwich collects the black general-rubbish bin and the blue mixed-recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste bin. The blue bin takes paper, card, plastic, tins and glass. Terraced streets without wheeled bins use black sacks (weekly) and blue recycling sacks (fortnightly). Garden waste is a paid subscription collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Norfolk 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 Norwich'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 Norwich council service?

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