Weekly reminder service so you never miss bin day - text or phone call the evening before, telling you which bins to put out. Simple, reliable, stress-free.
The Bin Day That's Always Tomorrow
We've all done it. Woken up to the sound of the bin lorry driving past and thought "oh shit, I forgot to put the bins out again." Now you've got two weeks of rubbish festering in the wheelie bin.
This service fixes that.
💡 Worth knowing: Miss one collection and you're stuck. Exeter council only empties bins on schedule - they won't come back for you.

🔧 DIY Tips
If you want to manage this yourself, here are some options:
📱 Council reminder services
- Exeter council has a free reminder service on their website
- Sign up with your postcode and they'll email you
- Not always reliable (emails go to spam, service goes down)
🗓️ Calendar reminders
- Set a recurring reminder on your phone
- Needs adjusting manually for bank holidays
- Only works if you actually check your calendar
📝 Writing it down
- Mark bin days on a wall calendar
- Only works if you remember to look at it
- Needs updating for changed collections
⚠️ Common issues
- Phone reminders get dismissed and forgotten
- Email reminders go to spam folder
- Bank holidays mess up the schedule
- Different bins on different weeks causes confusion
💡 Pro trick: Take a photo of your bin collection schedule and save it to your phone's home screen. At least you can check quickly when you're not sure.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎯 Combined with bin service: If you want the bins actually put out and brought in as well (not just reminded), see our Bin Service - we can do the whole lot for you.
Multiple properties? If you've got a rental or holiday let that needs bins managing, same price per property.
Prefer a phone call? Some people (especially elderly customers) prefer a quick call rather than a text. No problem - just let me know when we set it up.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the reminder work?
I send you a text message (or phone if you prefer) the evening before bin day, reminding you which bins to put out. Simple, reliable, and you never have to remember yourself.
What if my bin day changes?
I keep track of the council schedules - if there's a bank holiday or change to collection days, the reminder adjusts automatically. You don't need to do anything.
Can you remind me about different bin types?
Yes - general waste, recycling, garden waste. I know the rotation for Exeter council areas. The reminder tells you exactly which bins are being collected that week.
Is this mainly for elderly people?
Lots of elderly customers use it (especially those who find keeping track difficult), but also busy families who just forget, people working shifts, anyone who's missed collection one too many times and ended up with two weeks of rubbish piling up.
How much is it per month?
£60 per month for weekly reminders (works out at £15 per reminder). Cancel anytime - no contract, no fuss.
