Binly UK – Bin Day Reminder

DISCLAIMER: Binly UK is an independent app. It is not a government app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, operated by or authorised by the UK Government, GOV.UK, or any local council. Always follow your local council's own official guidance.

Binly UK is a simple bin collection and recycling reminder app for UK households. Check your bin collection day, see what needs to go out next, view your upcoming schedule and set reminders so you don't forget bin day.

Binly does not produce its own collection data. Every collection date shown is read from the public bin collection service published by your own local council. All sources are listed in full below and in the app under Settings > About.

🗑️ KNOW YOUR BIN COLLECTION DAY
Check your next collection for rubbish, general waste, recycling, food waste, garden waste and the other rounds your council runs. See your next collection clearly and keep bin day organised.

🔔 BIN DAY REMINDERS
Set reminders for your collection day so you know when to put the bin out. Choose the reminder time that suits you and get a notification before your collection.

📅 BIN COLLECTION CALENDAR
View your upcoming collection dates in a simple calendar: today's collection, tomorrow's collection, upcoming bin days, recycling dates and rubbish dates.

♻️ WHAT BIN DOES IT GO IN?
Search common household waste and recycling items - plastic bottles, cardboard, paper, food waste, glass, cans, packaging, batteries - for general guidance on which bin they usually belong in. Recycling rules differ between councils, so for any important disposal decision check your council's official guidance using the links below.
