Cumberland Council bin collection days

Most households have their bins collected from the kerbside on a set day of the week. The exact day — and which bins are due — varies from street to street, so homes a few roads apart can have completely different schedules.

Most areas separate household waste into different streams — typically general waste, recycling and food or garden organics — and each stream can run on its own weekly or fortnightly rotation. The schedule for your exact address is always the one to follow.

A free BinMinder reminder takes the guesswork out: instead of wondering which bin goes out this week, you get a nudge the evening before, so the right bin is on the kerb every time.
