Bin Day

Help keep Bin Day free

Bin Day is free to use, with no ads and no sign-up. Keeping it working takes real time and money. Council bin lookups change constantly, and every broken one has to be checked against the council site and fixed by hand. If Bin Day saves you some hassle, a small payment helps keep it going for everyone.

Where your support goes

  • Hosting and keeping the site online.
  • Fixing council lookups when they change or stop working.
  • Keeping postcode and address data fresh.
  • Updating council pages when links or details move.

A lookup can work one day and fail the next because a form changed, a supplier moved the service, a calendar was renamed, or an address vanished from the council search. Support buys the time to catch those, fix them, and keep working with councils on better data.

Other ways to help

Not everyone can chip in, and that is fine. These help just as much.

Report a broken lookup

Include the postcode, council, and selected address, and what happened on Bin Day. If the council website works for the same address, tell us what it showed.

Send council contacts

A waste services email, web team contact, or supplier name can save hours when a council lookup changes.

Share examples that work

A postcode and address that does work helps confirm whether a problem hits every resident or only some addresses.

Tell someone who needs it

Most people find Bin Day when a neighbour or local group points them to it. Sharing the link is the easiest way to help.
