South Derbyshire District Council covers Swadlincote, Melbourne and the villages south of Derby. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, and a weekly food waste service launched on 1 June 2026 — before which residents put some food in their garden bins.
With the black and green bins alternating fortnightly, a new weekly food caddy and a paid brown garden bin, South Derbyshire'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.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from South Derbyshire. You can also check the council's own page at southderbyshire.gov.uk.
South Derbyshire collects the black general-waste bin and the green recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy introduced on 1 June 2026. The green bin takes plastic and glass bottles, tins and aerosols, with paper and card in an inner caddy inside the bin. Garden waste is a paid subscription collected fortnightly from a brown bin — food must no longer go in the garden bin. Derbyshire 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 South Derbyshire'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 South Derbyshire or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
