Thanet District Council covers Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Birchington and the Isle of Thanet in east Kent. From April 2026 it added separate paper/card recycling under Simpler Recycling. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with a weekly food waste collection. Coastal streets use seagull-proof sacks.
Thanet splits recycling between a blue bin and a red bag, with a weekly food caddy and a paid garden bin — and seagull-proof sacks in some coastal areas. 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.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Thanet. You can also check the council's own page at thanet.gov.uk.
Thanet collects the black general-waste bin (or seagull-proof sacks) and its recycling containers on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy. The blue-lidded bin takes tins, cans, plastic bottles and glass; a red bag takes paper and cardboard (separated under Simpler Recycling from 13 April 2026). Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £73 a year) collected fortnightly. 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 Thanet or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
