Online waste and recycling calendars now available

Waste Matters and bin graphics

Cumberland householders can now download, bookmark and print the next four months of waste and recycling collection information.

The collection information is available at www.cumberland.gov.uk/waste/binday

Householders can check the dates for June through to the end of September 2025 by entering their post code and clicking on their home address from the drop-down options.

As well as viewing on screen, they can also be printed, saved or bookmarked.

As more changes to collection dates are planned in late September, householders are advised to continue checking their collections as they may be subject to change. 

Changes to waste collections in the former Allerdale area are now into their second week and residents are being urged to check their collection dates.

Fortnightly waste collections started on Monday 26 May and mean that around half of all Allerdale properties had no waste collection this week. 

Residents are also being urged to check their updated collection dates at www.cumberland.gov.uk/waste/binday 

The council has received more than 10,500 requests and are continuing to deliver replacement 180 litre bins.

Due to the large number of requests, they are advising residents that don’t get their new bin over the next few weeks to carry on using their existing bin and to recycle as much as they can. If they can’t fit all their waste into the bin, residents can put out up to two bags of excess waste. 

Residents that have provided an email address when requesting a replacement bin, will be contacted a day or a few days before the delivery. 

Householders may also be eligible for an even larger or extra bin if they have a large household, young children in nappies or your household produces extra waste due to medical needs. Apply at www.cumberland.gov.uk/waste/largerbin
