Never miss a Winchester bin day again

Winchester City Council covers Winchester, Alresford, Bishop's Waltham and the surrounding Hampshire villages. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, glass is kept separate in a box collected every four weeks, and a weekly food waste service launched in 2025.

How Winchester bin collections work

Between the fortnightly black and green bins, the four-weekly glass box, the weekly food caddy and a paid garden bin, Winchester's setup takes some tracking. 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.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Winchester?

Winchester collects the black general-waste bin and the green recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy introduced in 2025. The green bin takes paper, card, tins, cans and plastic bottles; glass goes in a separate box collected every four weeks. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £39 to £59 a year) collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Hampshire County Council handles disposal via Project Integra (collections by Biffa).

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 Winchester'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 Winchester council service?

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