Rossendale Borough Council covers Rawtenstall, Bacup, Haslingden and the Lancashire valley towns. Note the colour trap: here the green bin is for general waste, and the grey bin is for paper and card recycling. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly.
Rossendale's colours catch people out — green is general waste, grey is paper and card recycling. Between those, the blue bin 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. 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 Rossendale. You can also check the council's own page at rossendale.gov.uk.
Rossendale collects the green general-waste bin (food waste currently goes in here) on alternating fortnightly weeks with its recycling bins. The grey bin (or aqua sack) takes paper and cardboard, and the blue bin takes glass, cans and plastics. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription (around £50 a year, fortnightly, March to November). 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 Rossendale'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 Rossendale 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.
