Tendring District Council covers Clacton-on-Sea, Harwich, Frinton-on-Sea, Brightlingsea and the villages of north-east Essex. It runs a two-box kerbside recycling service — but watch the colours, as they run opposite to many councils — with a weekly food collection and fortnightly refuse.
Tendring's recycling boxes catch people out — the red box is for paper and card, the green box for plastics and cans, the reverse of many areas. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right box goes out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Tendring. You can also check the council's own page at tendringdc.gov.uk.
Tendring collects the black wheeled bin (180L) fortnightly, with its two recycling boxes on alternating fortnightly weeks and food weekly. Note the colours: the red box is for paper and cardboard, and the green box is for plastic bottles, tins, cans and aerosols (glass is not collected at the kerb here). Garden waste is a paid subscription collected fortnightly. Essex County Council handles disposal (collections by Veolia).
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 Tendring'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 Tendring or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
Enter your address, choose SMS reminders, done. 99p a month, cancel any time.
