Never miss a West Devon bin day again

West Devon Borough Council covers Tavistock, Okehampton and the rural villages around Dartmoor. It runs a sack-and-box service — black sacks for refuse, kerbside-sort boxes for recycling — with recycling and food collected weekly but refuse only fortnightly.

How West Devon bin collections work

West Devon uses black sacks for rubbish and sorts recycling into boxes at the kerb, with recycling and food weekly but refuse fortnightly. It's a lot to keep straight. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right containers go out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.

Common questions

When are bins collected in West Devon?

West Devon collects general refuse in black sacks fortnightly (there are no wheelie bins — sacks suit the rural roads), alternating with garden waste, while recycling and food are collected weekly. Recycling is kerbside-sorted into boxes for plastics, pots, tubs, trays, paper and glass. Food waste goes in a kerbside caddy weekly. Garden waste is a paid subscription collected fortnightly. Devon County Council handles disposal (collections by FCC Environment).

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 West Devon'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 West Devon council service?

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