About

UK Bin Collections is a free service that helps you find your next bin collection dates by postcode. It aggregates data from hundreds of UK council websites into one simple lookup.

How it works

We maintain scrapers for over 350 UK councils. When you search, we identify your council from your postcode, then fetch your collection schedule directly from your council's website in real time.

Open source

This project builds on the work of two excellent open-source projects:

• hacs_waste_collection_schedule — Home Assistant integration for waste collection schedules
• UKBinCollectionData — UK household bin collection data scrapers

Thank you to the maintainers and contributors of both projects.

API

A free JSON API is available for developers. See the API documentation for details.

If your collection dates are wrong, use the "Report wrong answer" button on the results page and we'll investigate.
