What to do if your bin was missed
If Reigate and Banstead Borough Council misses your collection, a few quick steps usually get it sorted:

- 2 Leave the bin out. Crews often come back within a day or two to collect a genuinely missed bin.
- 3 Report it to the council. Most councils have an online “report a missed collection” form and ask you to use it within one or two working days.

What should I do if Reigate and Banstead Borough Council misses my bin collection?
Leave your bin out, as councils often return within a day or two to collect a missed bin. If it isn't collected, report it through your council's website — most councils ask you to report a missed collection within one or two working days. It also helps to make sure your bin was presented by the required time (often 6–7am) and was easy to access.
Do Reigate and Banstead bin collections change on bank holidays?
They often do. Many UK councils push collections back by a day for the rest of the week after a bank holiday, or run catch-up rounds. BinMinder applies the bank-holiday adjustment your council has published wherever possible, so your reminders reflect the revised dates rather than the normal schedule.
What time should bins be out in Reigate and Banstead?
Most councils, including Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, ask for bins to be at the kerbside by 6–7am on collection day. Crews can arrive earlier than usual, so the safest habit is putting bins out the evening before — which is exactly when BinMinder sends your reminder.
Does Reigate and Banstead charge for garden waste collection?
Most UK councils now run garden waste as a paid annual subscription, typically £35–£70 per year, and many pause collections over winter. Check Reigate and Banstead Borough Council's website for the current price and sign-up — and once subscribed, BinMinder reminds you before each garden waste collection too.
