Forgetting to put your bins out on your bin day can be frustrating. We have partnered with ECAL. They are specialists in creating digital calendars.
We have created digital bin calendars for almost all homes in Harrow. This means that your bin days can be added to the calendars of your favourite devices.
You can add your bin days to your personal phone and receive reminders 24 hours before.
Add your bin days to your phone
To get your bin days to your phone, you will need to:
- enter your postcode on our bins page
- select the button to "add your bin days to your phone"
- pick one or both of the schedules you want to add to your calendar. You can pick either or both of your Household or Garden waste bin days
- select the device you want to add the calendar to and follow the final steps on screen.
Benefits of downloading your bin days:
- You will get push notifications 24 hours before your bin day
- You will get reminders on any linked smart devices (even your Apple Watch)
- You will get live updates if there are changes to your bin day
- You will not need to visit our website to view your bin days.
If you have any issues downloading your bin days please let us know. You can select our feedback button on the right side of your screen. Please make sure to include your address and we can get this added.
Providing a greener service
We spend quite a bit per year printing bin collection calendars. These are delivered by hand. These calendars go out to each household in the borough in the winter. Our digital calendars reduce the amount we need to print.
If your bin days change for Bank Holidays, your digital calendars will update. This of course is not possible on our paper calendars.
Need to report a missed bin collection?
We are sorry our bin crews did not collect your bin(s). You can report a missed bin collection if:
- it is after 5pm on your usual bin day and
- it is not later than 48 hours since your usual bin day.
Enter your postcode on our bins page. Then select the missed bin option under the bin that was not collected.
