Stevenage Borough Council collects bins across the Hertfordshire new town. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with recycling sorted into containers (paper/card separate from other materials) and a weekly food waste service being introduced.
With the black bin, recycling containers, a food caddy and a brown garden bin to keep track of, Stevenage's schedule is easy to muddle. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right container goes out. 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 Stevenage. You can also check the council's own page at stevenage.gov.uk.
Stevenage collects the black general-refuse bin (now issued as 180L as recycling has expanded) on alternating fortnightly weeks with its recycling containers, plus a weekly food waste caddy being introduced across the town. Recycling is sorted into containers for mixed materials and separate paper and card. Garden waste goes in a brown bin, collected fortnightly. Flats without wheeled bins use purple sacks for refuse. Hertfordshire 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.
