We introduced weekly food waste collections for houses and flats from 30 March. If you haven't received your food caddies yet please report via our Replace damaged or missing bins and food caddies page.
Bin collections in Bedford Borough operate on an alternate weekly basis, with food waste collected weekly:
Collection schedules may be different if you live in a property that uses shared bins.
Garden waste collections (green lidded bins) run from 1 March to 30 November each year (collections are suspended over the winter period).
You can use our bin day 'look-up' tool to check your bin day or download the annual bin collection calendar for your address.
Type your Bedford Borough postcode or street name into the white box below and click ‘find my address’.
A matching streets/addresses box will appear - click into the box or use the drop down arrow to select your street and/or address from the list.
You will then be shown results for your address.
If you have just moved into a new build property and you don’t have any bins, you can request them online. Once you have your bins, you will be able to use the bin day 'look-up' tool to check your bin day.
You can subscribe to email bulletins for bin collection updates and recycling tips.
