Waste Collections
According to Mid Devon District Council’s rules, place your bin outside by 6 AM on your collection day. Regular waste bins are serviced once a week as part of the Mid Devon bin collection. To ensure collection, set your bin curbside on time—bins placed late will not be collected. Bag your trash before placing it in the bin to reduce litter, and only use closed-lid bins.
Follow these rules when placing your bin curbside:
- Position the bin so the lid faces the street.
- Place the bin in a visible, obstacle-free area to ensure it is easily collected.
- Avoid blocking sidewalks with your bin. Once your waste is collected, remove the bin as soon as possible.
Mid Devon Recycling
Mid Devon District Council provides recycling collection services every week as part of the Mid Devon bin collection schedule. Residents are advised to place their recycling bins curbside by 6:30 AM on the designated days. Adhere to the following rules to ensure proper collection:
- Use only closed-lid carts to prevent moisture from affecting your recycling materials.
- Only clean, empty, and dry recyclable items should be placed in your bin.
- Do not include leftover food in your recycling bin, as this can attract pests and cause littering.
- Plastic bags are not recyclable and should not be placed in the recycling bin, as they can disrupt the recycling process.
Acceptable recycling materials include newspapers, magazines, packaging, clean wrapping paper (without adhesive tape, ribbons, or glitter), greeting cards, metal tins, cans, steel and aluminum cans, clean foil trays, plastic containers, food and drink cartons, glass bottles, and glass jars. Avoid placing prohibited items in the recycling bin, as they will not be collected according to the Mid Devon bin collection.
Report Missed Collections
Occasionally, bin collections may be delayed due to weather conditions or road blockages. However, if you are not informed and your bin is not collected, it may have been missed. In this case, first check the following:
- Did you put your bins or bags out the night before or by 6 AM on the day of collection?
- Did you place the correct bins, bags, or boxes out on the right day and week?
If everything was done correctly, you can report the missed collection. Click the link below to access an online report form. Enter your postal code into the search bar and press enter. Missed collections should be reported within 48 hours. Once reported, Mid Devon District Council will arrange for your bin to be collected within 48 hours.
