Never miss a Tewkesbury bin day again

Tewkesbury Borough Council covers Tewkesbury, Bishop's Cleeve, Winchcombe and the north Gloucestershire villages. Note the colour trap: here the green bin is for general refuse, not recycling. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with a weekly food waste collection.

How Tewkesbury bin collections work

Tewkesbury's green bin is for general refuse, not recycling — an easy one to get wrong. Between that, the blue recycling bin, the weekly food caddy 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.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Tewkesbury?

Tewkesbury collects the green general-refuse bin (180L) and the blue recycling bin (240L, or blue bags) on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy. Be careful — the green bin is for rubbish here, not recycling. The blue bin takes cardboard, paper, cartons, cans, foil, aerosols, glass and plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays. Garden waste is a paid subscription collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Gloucestershire 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 Tewkesbury'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 Tewkesbury council service?

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