Ribble Valley Borough Council covers Clitheroe, Longridge, Whalley and the rural villages of the Ribble Valley in Lancashire. Note the colour: here the burgundy bin is for general waste and is collected weekly, an unusually frequent refuse collection.
Ribble Valley keeps its burgundy general-waste bin weekly, but recycling comes round on longer cycles — plus a white sack for paper. 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. This information was correct at the time of writing; the council has proposals to change its collection schedule currently under review, so your service may be updated in future.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Ribble Valley. You can also check the council's own page at ribblevalley.gov.uk.
Ribble Valley collects the burgundy general-waste bin weekly (all food and kitchen waste goes in here — there is no separate food caddy yet). The blue bin (glass, cans and plastic bottles) and green garden bin are collected on alternating fortnightly weeks, and a white reusable sack for paper and cardboard is collected fortnightly. Garden waste is a paid subscription. Lancashire County Council handles disposal.
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 Ribble Valley's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.
No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with Ribble Valley or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
Enter your address, choose SMS reminders, done. 99p a month, cancel any time.
