Never miss bin day again. BinMate shows which bin to put out tonight, reminds you the night before and the morning of, and automatically moves your collections around UK bank holidays.
Bin schedules are confusing — weekly food waste, fortnightly recycling, garden waste on another cycle, and everything shifts around bank holidays. BinMate answers one question at a glance: which bin goes out, and when?
Enter your postcode and BinMate sets up your bin collection schedule in seconds — live council auto-detect in selected areas, and a quick 20-second manual setup everywhere else. A bold, colour-coded card tells you "put out tonight: Recycling — Tomorrow," readable from across the kitchen, with your next ten collections listed below.
WHAT BINMATE DOES:
- Tells you which bin to put out and when — recycling, rubbish, general waste, food waste and garden waste
- Reminds you the night before and the morning of bin day, with reminder times you can edit (free for everyone)
- Optional "bring the bins back in" nudge after collection
- Automatically shifts collections after UK bank holidays — and tells you exactly why a date moved
- Region-aware bank holidays for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
- Your next bin on a home screen and lock screen widget
- Handles weekly, fortnightly, every 3 weeks, every 4 weeks and monthly collection cycles
- Colour-coded bins with simple icons, so you always know which bin is which
WHO IT'S FOR:
UK householders, busy parents, homeowners and renters who can never remember which bin goes out — and anyone juggling confusing multi-stream collection schedules across recycling, rubbish, food and garden waste.
WHY BINMATE:
Bank holidays are exactly what other bin reminder apps get wrong. BinMate applies the UK "+1 working day" rule for you and shows the reason, so you can trust every collection date.
Private by design. No account, no login, no servers, everything stays on your phone. After the one-time setup, BinMate works fully offline, so it keeps reminding you with no signal needed.
Made in the UK, for UK councils and UK bin collections. Whether your council calls it refuse, rubbish, recycling or general waste, BinMate keeps your wheelie bin collection schedule straight.
FREE vs PRO:
BinMate is free for one address — the full "which bin" experience, all three reminders, the home screen widget, the bank-holiday engine and council auto-detect are never paywalled. BinMate Pro adds extra addresses (your home, a parent's house, a rental or a holiday let) and more accent colours for a one-time £14.99 Lifetime unlock, or £12.99 a year. No monthly subscription, ever.
Stop guessing which bin it is tonight. Download BinMate and never miss bin day again.
