Shropshire is one of England's largest rural unitaries. It keeps to a grey bin for rubbish and a green bin for all your mixed recycling, alternating week about, with a brown bin for garden waste and a new weekly food caddy introduced in 2026.
Shropshire Council (through its contractor Veolia) collects the grey bin (non-recyclable household waste) and the green recycling bin (paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, tubs and trays, food and drink tins and cans — clean, dry and loose) on alternating fortnightly weeks. A new weekly food waste collection was introduced from April 2026, in line with national rules; before this, food went in the black or grey bin. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. Some rural properties have a sack arrangement. Present bins at the kerbside by 7am on collection day. 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 Shropshire. You can also check the council's own page at shropshire.gov.uk.
Shropshire collects the grey (general waste) and green (mixed recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, with a new weekly food caddy (from 2026) and a paid brown garden bin. Note grey is general and green is recycling here. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know which bin is due.
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 Shropshire'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 Shropshire or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
