Oxford City Council collects bins across the university city. Note the colour trap: here the green bin is for general rubbish, not recycling. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with a weekly food waste collection. Some terraced streets use eco sacks instead of wheeled bins.
Oxford's green bin is for general rubbish, not recycling — an easy one to get wrong. Between that, the blue recycling bin, the weekly food caddy and a paid brown 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.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Oxford. You can also check the council's own page at oxford.gov.uk.
Oxford collects the green general-rubbish bin and the blue recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy (a red bin at flats). Be careful — the green bin is for rubbish here, not recycling. The blue bin takes paper, card, plastics, tins, cans and glass. Garden waste is a paid subscription (brown bin or eco sacks) collected fortnightly. Oxfordshire County Council handles disposal via Oxford Direct Services.
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 Oxford or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
