Last updated: 8 May 2026

Who We Are

My Bin Collection (mybincollection.co.uk) is a UK waste collection information service. Contact: hello@mybincollection.co.uk.

What Data We Collect

Postcodes You Enter

When you look up a postcode, we store the outward code (e.g. “N1”) to trigger schedule retrieval and to improve our council coverage. We do not store full postcodes linked to personal identifiers.

Email Addresses (Reminder Signup)

If you sign up for bin day reminders, we store your email address and postcode to send collection day reminders. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any reminder email.

Log Data

Our hosting provider automatically logs standard server access information (IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps). Logs are retained for 30 days for security and debugging purposes.

How We Use Your Data

  • To retrieve and display bin collection schedules for your area
  • To send opt-in collection day email reminders
  • To improve coverage of councils with low data confidence
  • To monitor site security and performance
