Watford Borough Council collects bins across the Hertfordshire town, with its service run by Veolia. Watch the colour trap: here the brown bin is for food waste, not garden waste. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, with a weekly food collection.
Watford's brown bin is for food waste, not garden — an easy one to get wrong. Between that, the blue recycling bin, the black rubbish bin and a paid green 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.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Watford. You can also check the council's own page at watford.gov.uk.
Watford collects the black non-recyclable-waste bin and the blue-lidded recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food collection. Be careful — the brown outdoor bin is for food waste here, not garden. The blue-lidded bin takes mixed dry recycling. Garden waste is a separate paid subscription (green bin, fortnightly). Hertfordshire County Council handles disposal via 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 Watford'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 Watford or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
