Bin Collection Calendar: never miss a bin day again
Know which bin to put out, and when
Set up your bin schedule once and get reminded the evening before and the morning of every collection. Works with any council and any schedule, with no postcode lookup and no account.
Everything your bin day needs
Which bin, which week
Colour-coded bin types show exactly what goes out on any given collection, so the recycling-or-general guessing game is over.
Evening and morning reminders
A nudge the night before to put the bins out, and again on the morning of collection, plus an optional reminder to bring them back in.
Any schedule, any council
Weekly, fortnightly, every three weeks, monthly or seasonal. You set it up, so it fits your street even if no postcode app covers it.
Bank holiday shifts handled
Move a single collection when a bank holiday pushes it back, without breaking the rest of your recurring schedule.
Calendar, widgets and Watch
See what is next on your home screen and Apple Watch, and plan ahead in a full calendar view.
Share with the household
Send a clean image of the next collections to family or housemates, so putting the bins out is not always your job.
A look inside
Works with any schedule, no postcode needed
Most bin reminder apps look your collections up from your postcode, which is handy until your council is not supported, your street is on a special round, or your garden waste runs to a different pattern. Bin Collection Calendar takes the other approach: you set up your real schedule once, so it fits exactly what happens on your street.
- Any council, anywhere. If you know your collection days, the app can track them, even where no postcode app reaches.
- Any pattern. Weekly, fortnightly, every three weeks, monthly, seasonal garden waste, all handled.
- No account, on your device. Your schedule syncs across your own devices with iCloud and needs no signup.
How it works
- Add your bins. Pick the types your council collects and give each its colour.
- Set the pattern. Choose the day and how often each one is collected, including alternating weeks.
- Get reminded. The app tells you the evening before and the morning of, and shows the next collection on your widget and Watch.

Questions
Does it find my collection days from my postcode?
No. You set up your schedule yourself, which means it works with any council and any pattern, including streets and services that postcode apps miss. Check your days once on your council’s website, then let the app remind you forever.
Can it handle fortnightly and alternating weeks?
Yes. Weekly, fortnightly, every three weeks, monthly, custom and seasonal patterns are all supported, so recycling and general waste on different weeks are no problem.
Will it remind me the night before?
Yes. You get a reminder the evening before and again on the morning of collection, plus an optional nudge to bring the bins back in.
How much does it cost?
The app is free to download and use. An optional Pro upgrade is available as a one-off or yearly purchase for the full feature set.
