Rochford District Council covers Rayleigh, Hockley, Rochford and the villages of south-east Essex. It has one of the highest recycling rates in England, with a distinctive weekly collection of both food and garden waste alongside fortnightly refuse and recycling.
Rochford collects food and garden waste weekly but refuse and recycling fortnightly — an unusual mix. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right bin goes out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Rochford. You can also check the council's own page at rochford.gov.uk.
Rochford collects the compostables bin (green with a yellow lid, for garden waste) and the food waste caddy weekly, with the grey recyclables bin and the non-recyclables bin collected on alternating fortnightly weeks. Food waste was separated from garden waste in October 2025 into its own caddy. The grey bin takes paper, card, cans, plastics and glass. Essex 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 Rochford'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 Rochford or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
