Never miss a Worcester bin day again

Worcester City Council collects bins across the Worcestershire cathedral city. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly. Note that food waste currently goes in the black general-waste bin — a separate weekly food collection is being introduced across Worcestershire.

How Worcester bin collections work

With the black and green bins alternating fortnightly, a separate food service arriving and a paid brown garden bin, Worcester's schedule takes some tracking. 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.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Worcester?

Worcester collects the black general-waste bin (180L) and the green recycling bin (240L) on alternating fortnightly weeks. The green bin takes paper, card, tins, cans, glass bottles and jars, and plastic bottles, pots and tubs (but not black plastic). Food waste currently goes in the black bin (wrapped), with a separate weekly food collection being introduced across Worcestershire. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £84 a year) collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Worcestershire County Council handles disposal.

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 Worcester'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 Worcester council service?

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