Never miss a Tamworth bin day again

Tamworth Borough Council covers the Staffordshire town and surrounding area, with its waste service run in partnership with Lichfield District Council. It uses a blue-bin and blue-bag recycling system, with a weekly food waste collection.

How Tamworth bin collections work

Tamworth splits recycling between a blue bin and a blue bag, with a weekly food caddy and a paid brown garden bin on top. It's 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.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Tamworth?

Tamworth collects the black general-waste bin and its recycling containers on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy. The blue bin takes glass, cans and plastics; the blue bag (or a purple bin in some rural areas) takes paper and card. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £42.50 a year) collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Staffordshire County Council handles disposal.

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 Tamworth'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 Tamworth council service?

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