How bin collections work in Teignbridge

Like most UK local authorities, Teignbridge District Council runs separate collections for different types of household waste. Which bins are collected — and how often — varies from street to street, so the most reliable way to find your schedule is to check it against your exact address. Enter your postcode above to see your next Teignbridge collection dates.

General waste fortnightly and recycling, food waste, garden waste and paper and card weekly. That is the pattern in the collection dates we hold for Teignbridge, which run from 22 July and 26 August 2026, rather than the pattern that is typical nationally. Rounds still differ between streets, so check your own address for the dates that apply to you.

What to do if your bin was missed

If Teignbridge District Council misses your collection, a few quick steps usually get it sorted:

  1. 1 Check it was actually due. Confirm your collection day for the bin in question — it's easy to mix up which week is which.
  2. 2 Leave the bin out. Crews often come back within a day or two to collect a genuinely missed bin.
  3. 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.
  4. 4 Check your presentation. Make sure the bin was out by the required time (often 6–7am), lid closed, and not blocked by cars or parked too far from the kerb.

Can I get reminders for Teignbridge bin collections?

Is BinMinder free?

Web push and email reminders are free forever. SMS and WhatsApp reminders are free for your first 3 months, then £1.99/month if you choose to keep them.

What should I do if Teignbridge District 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 Teignbridge 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 Teignbridge?

Most councils, including Teignbridge District 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 Teignbridge 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 Teignbridge District Council's website for the current price and sign-up — and once subscribed, BinMinder reminds you before each garden waste collection too.
