West Suffolk Council covers Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill, Newmarket, Mildenhall and the west Suffolk villages. From June 2026 its 'Better Recycling' service split paper and card into a separate bin and added a weekly food waste collection — but note recycling is collected only every four weeks.
West Suffolk's recycling bins come round only once every four weeks, so they're easy to miss, and a new food caddy runs weekly. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right bin goes out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime. This information was correct at the time of writing; the council has proposals to change its collection schedule currently under review, so your service may be updated in future.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from West Suffolk. You can also check the council's own page at westsuffolk.gov.uk.
West Suffolk collects the black general-waste bin every two weeks, with the blue mixed-recycling bin and the green-lidded paper and card bin each collected once every four weeks (under the 'Better Recycling' service launched June 2026). A weekly food waste caddy was added at the same time. The blue bin takes plastics, cans and tins. Garden waste is a paid subscription collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Suffolk County Council handles disposal via the Great Blakenham energy-from-waste facility.
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 West Suffolk'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 West Suffolk or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
