Never miss a Tunbridge Wells bin day again

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council covers Royal Tunbridge Wells, Southborough, Paddock Wood, Cranbrook and the surrounding Kent villages. 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.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Tunbridge Wells?

Tunbridge Wells collects the green general-rubbish bin and its recycling containers on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste bin. Be careful — the green bin is for rubbish here. There are two recycling containers: one for glass, plastic and tin, and one for paper and cardboard. Garden waste is a paid subscription (a separate black bin) collected fortnightly. Kent County Council handles disposal via the Allington Energy from Waste plant.

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 Tunbridge Wells'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 Tunbridge Wells council service?

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