Your Bin Collection Days

Find out your collection days by using Southend Council's new Waste App: Resident recycling and waste bin app - Southend-on-Sea City Council

If you cannot access the app you can call their customer services team on 01702 215006 for this information.

In 2025 we had a fire in the bin room of one of our high rise blocks, which may have been caused by a lit cigarette or other flammable item such as lithium batteries being disposed of down the bin chute. 

Please be extremely careful when disposing of household waste. Items that could cause a fire such as cigarettes, matches, batteries, especially lithium-ion batteries, must not be put with household waste and never down bin chutes.
