How do I unsubscribe?
Every email has an unsubscribe link. One click and you're done. You can also delete all your data from your dashboard.
What about bank holidays?
We check the dates your council publishes for your address every day, so if your council changes a date there, your reminder changes too. Some councils only publish Christmas changes separately, so it's worth checking your council's website then.
Which bin do I put out this week?
It depends on your address and collection schedule. Enter your postcode above and we'll show you exactly which bins are due. Then sign up for free reminders so you never have to check again.
Is there a bin day app?
Yes! BinsOut is available as a free app on the App Store and Google Play, with push notifications and a home screen widget. It also works via email with no download required. You'll get a reminder at 6pm the evening before collection telling you exactly which bins to put out.
I keep forgetting bin day - can you help?
That's exactly why we built BinsOut! Sign up with your postcode and email, and we'll remind you every time. No more missed collections or bins sitting out for days.
Areas We Cover
Your Privacy
We respect your data. Here's exactly what we do:
- What we store: Your email, address, and postcode - only what's needed to send you reminders.
- What we do with it: Send reminders, show your settings, and provide account features you choose.
- What we don't do: We don't sell personal data or share it for advertising. We don't use tracking cookies. Cookie-free analytics gives us aggregate page-view counts.
- Signup diagnostics: During signup, we store a random ID in this tab and record the steps reached and broad failure type. It contains no email, postcode, address or sign-in details, and disappears when the tab closes.
- Delete your data: Visit your dashboard (link in every email) to delete all your data instantly.
This is a community project, not a data-harvesting operation. We built it because bin schedules are confusing!
