Swale Borough Council covers Sittingbourne, Faversham, Sheerness and the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. Note the colour trap: here the green bin is for general rubbish, not recycling. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with a weekly food waste collection.
Swale's green bin is for general rubbish, not recycling — an easy one to get wrong. Between that, the blue recycling bin, the weekly food bin and a paid brown garden bin, My Bin Day keeps you right with a text the evening before each collection. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Swale. You can also check the council's own page at swale.gov.uk.
Swale collects the green general-waste bin (180L) and the blue recycling bin (240L) on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste bin (a distinctive black and orange 23L caddy). Be careful — the green bin is for rubbish here, not recycling. The blue bin takes paper, card, plastics, cans and glass. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £62 a year) collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Kent 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.

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