Everything you need to know, answered simply.
Yes — completely free, with no account, sign-up or subscription required. Just enter your postcode and get your dates.
Every date is fetched live from your council's own bin collection system at the moment you search, so it reflects whatever your council currently has published. Councils sometimes shift collections around bank holidays or due to local disruptions, so if a date looks unusual — especially over a bank holiday week — it's worth double-checking directly with your council.
WhenBin adds new councils regularly, but not every UK council is covered yet — some publish their bin schedules in ways we can't currently connect to reliably. Check our Councils A–Z page to see what's live, and get in touch if you'd like us to prioritise yours.
If your address doesn't appear after a postcode search, try again and double-check you've entered the postcode correctly. Properties on communal or shared bin schedules — common in flats and some newer developments — aren't always listed individually by councils, so results may not be available for every address.
No. Your postcode and address are used only to fetch your results and aren't stored by WhenBin afterwards — see our Privacy Policy for full details.
Yes — WhenBin offers a free embeddable widget that parish councils, community groups and local sites can add to their own pages. Visit our widget page for the embed code and a preview.
A small tool, built to save you a search.
WhenBin is an independent project built to make council bin collection dates easy to find, without digging through a council website. It isn't affiliated with any local council or government body — just a small tool built to save you the search. Read more on our About page, or get in touch via our contact page.
