How bin collections work in Mid and East Antrim
Like most UK local authorities, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council runs separate collections for different types of household waste. Which bins are collected — and how often — varies from street to street, so the most reliable way to find your schedule is to check it against your exact address. Enter your postcode above to see your next Mid and East Antrim collection dates.
Across much of the UK, general (non-recyclable) waste and mixed recycling are collected on alternating weeks, food waste is often collected weekly, and garden waste is usually collected fortnightly during the growing season. Every council sets its own rounds, though, so use the checker to confirm the pattern that actually applies to your home rather than relying on the typical schedule.

Web push and email reminders are free forever. SMS reminders are free for your first 3 months, then £1.99/month if you choose to keep them.
What should I do if Mid and East Antrim Borough Council misses my bin collection?
Check Mid and East Antrim Borough Council's missed-collection guidance before moving your bin. Report a missed collection through the council's own website within its stated reporting window. Check its rules on presentation time, access and accepted materials; these vary by council.
Do Mid and East Antrim bin collections change on bank holidays?
They often do. Many UK councils push collections back by a day for the rest of the week after a bank holiday, or run catch-up rounds. BinMinder applies the bank-holiday adjustment your council has published wherever possible, so your reminders reflect the revised dates rather than the normal schedule.
What time should bins be out in Mid and East Antrim?
Check Mid and East Antrim Borough Council's official collection guidance for the required presentation time and where to leave your bins. BinMinder sends a reminder the evening before collection; that reminder time is not the council's collection time.
Does Mid and East Antrim charge for garden waste collection?
Most UK councils now run garden waste as a paid annual subscription, typically £35–£70 per year, and many pause collections over winter. Check Mid and East Antrim Borough Council's website for the current price and sign-up — and once subscribed, BinMinder reminds you before each garden waste collection too.
