Never miss a Rugby bin day again

Rugby Borough Council covers Rugby town and the surrounding Warwickshire villages. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, and a new weekly food waste service launched on 6 July 2026.

How Rugby bin collections work

With the black and blue-lidded bins alternating fortnightly, a new weekly food caddy and a paid green garden bin, Rugby's schedule takes some tracking. 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.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Rugby?

Rugby collects the black refuse bin and the blue-lidded recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy introduced on 6 July 2026. The green garden bin (a paid subscription, around £46 a year, fortnightly) can also take food waste for subscribers, as it is processed at an in-vessel composting facility. Note the garden bin may be collected on a different day to your black and blue bins. Warwickshire 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 Rugby'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 Rugby council service?

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