Check your bin day

Check your bin day online

An easy way to check which bin day it is would be to see which bins you neighbours have put out. 

New builds

If you are in a new build or part of  new development you should phone 0191 278 7878 and ask for "Your Local Services" to check your collection days. This is because it can take some time for new build addresses and postcodes to get updated.

Bank holidays

There can be revisions to bin collections on bank holidays depending on the day of the week they fall.

Any changes will be shown on the calendars provided. We will also provide an update via our social media channels nearer the time.
