A mate for the everyday.

“Which bin is it this week?” One small question. One surprisingly easy thing to forget.

One less thing on your mind

BinMate was made for the everyday juggle. The half-remembered collection day. The calendar tucked in a drawer. The last-minute look at the neighbours’ bins.

We think keeping track of bin day should feel simple. A clear next collection, a helpful reminder and enough detail to know what’s coming. That’s the idea behind the new BinMate.

A familiar mate, a fresh start

BinMate is available for iPhone and Android, with collection dates and reminders to make bin day easier. The website shows illustrative examples; features and appearance may vary by platform and app version.

Independently made

BinMate is built and operated by Anas Hafidi. We’re an independent app, not a council service. Coverage depends on the collection information available for your address.

If something could make bin day easier, we’d like to hear it. Say hello.

Who writes the guides

Anas Hafidi, the maker of BinMate, writes and maintains this guide library. BinMate is not a council or a waste-disposal service. Links within each guide identify the official and specialist sources used for local rules and disposal advice.

Published dates show when a guide first appeared. A reviewed date records a substantive content check, including sources and app descriptions. Rules can change after that date, so check your council's current instructions before putting out an unusual item. If you spot an error, tell us which guide and what needs correcting.
