Bin collections for your address

Waltham Forest sets collections street by street — put in your postcode and see your own dates.

Fetching your collection dates from the council…

Bins in Walthamstow are collected by the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Walthamstow has no council of its own, so the collection pages — and this lookup — are filed under Waltham Forest.

Type your postcode, choose your address from the list, and you will see the next collections for that address, read from the council's own system.

Worth knowing

Waltham Forest sets collection days street by street, and the council says so itself: what you put out, and when, varies from road to road. A neighbour's day is not necessarily yours, so it is worth looking up your own address rather than going by what someone nearby does.
Every lookup goes to the council's system as you make it, so it can be slow when that system is busy, and it can be unavailable when the council's service is down. If nothing comes back, the council's own collection-day page is the place to check.

Bank holidays and bad weather

Everything on this page is read live from London Borough of Waltham Forest’s own bin-day service, so holiday changes appear here only once the council publishes them. If a date looks off around a bank holiday, the council’s page is the last word.

Where this comes from

Collection dates, bin names and colours come from London Borough of Waltham Forest’s own bin-day service, fetched when you look up your address — nothing here is retyped by hand. London Borough of Waltham Forest

Lookups are powered by BinDays, a free, open-source, donation-funded project that keeps track of how UK council bin-day services work. bindays.app
