Common questions

When are bins collected in Stratford-on-Avon?

Stratford-on-Avon runs a '123+' service: food waste weekly (grey caddy), mixed dry recycling fortnightly (blue-lidded bin), and general non-recyclable waste every three weeks (grey bin). The blue-lidded bin takes paper, card, glass, cans, plastic bottles, tubs, trays and cartons. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £50 a year, green bin, fortnightly February to November). Warwickshire County Council handles disposal via the Coleshill anaerobic digestion facility.

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 Stratford-on-Avon'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 Stratford-on-Avon council service?

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