The average person generates over 4 pounds of waste per day, that is the same amount as a Watermelon!
Now, since we have been going for over 9 years, spanning Greater Manchester, providing our waste and recycling service to anyone who needs it, you would think that everyone would know about our service.
Well, that isn't the case, and this is something that we hope to change.
You may be thinking 'But...But Busy Bins are the most followed waste collection service on Social Media, surely everyone knows you?' First off, thanks for the compliment (We honestly didn't write that ourselves). Secondly, we are just as humbly shocked as you.
That is why, in this blog, we are giving you the full rundown of everything to do with our Busy Bins Bin Collections. From the very origins of our story, the benefits of using Busy Bins, all the way to how to sign up to our service.
It's going to get rubbish!
Our Story started back in 2015...the local councils had reduced the number of household waste collections on offer in Bury. Due to this, we found people were struggling to stay on top of overflowing bins and they searching desperately for a solution.
This is where we jumped in!
Fast forward 9 years and thousands of bin empties and OVER 1000 5* reviews later, you could say we have come a very long way!
Now, our team not only offers household waste collections, but, also, business waste collections, skip hire and junk removals.
Today, we are proud to say that we have a loyal customer base who know we're always ready with a smile and a wave and that we're as good as our word when it comes to collecting their bins reliably.
With the introduction of plenty of bin collection services around Manchester, why should you choose Busy Bins?
Well it isn't just our smiley, friendly, kerbside collection crew that sets us apart from the rest, there are plenty of reasons for why you should use us for your household waste recycling:
We offer one off collections for that quick waste up lift.
Or,
We have a full subscription recycle service that helps you keep on top of your bins more regularly. We have two different regular bin collections services available.
Types of Bins: We take all kinds of bins. Name any recycling bin & we will take it...
Food Waste - CHECK
Garden Waste - CHECK
Paper & Cardboard Waste - CHECK
Glass & Plastic Bottles Waste - CHE....You can fill in the rest...literally!
No matter what bin your household has, we will take it.
Scheduling and Routes: We have set days that we attend each postcode area, to make sure that we keep fuel emissions as low as possible. The bin collection dates in each area will differ depending on where you live.
If you just can't contain your excitement about when we will be collecting from your postcode & your bin is about to burst with anticipation (and rubbish), we do have a handy postcode checking tool on our website at https://busybins.co.uk/household-bins/one-off
We don't just empty bins, oh no! We also provide the following services to our customers around Manchester & surrounding areas.
Junk Removal: Bulky waste collection. Whether it's a: Sofa, Chair, Oven, Table, Washing Machine, or, multiple items to be taken. You name it, we remove it.
Skip Hire: 4 yard (Holds around 40 bin bags), 8 yard (80 Bin Bags) or 12 yard skips (120 Bin Bags) available to rent for 7 days.
Business Waste Bins: Variety of sizes available ranging from: 240L all the way to 1100L. So you never have to get embarrassed about the size of your waste.
It's simple.
Head to https://busybins.co.uk/household-bins where you can choose a bin collection service that is right for you. Our options are:
One off Bin Collection: Easy enough. We empty your bin all for a one time fee.
Subscription: 3 weeks is always far too long to wait until your next recycle collection. This is why we offer refuse collection on the weeks the council won't come.
Remember! Your bin collection days will always stay the same as your council collection days!
We'll then empty your bin into our trusty, green wagon and place the bin back where we found it.
Your waste will then take a journey around Manchester before being taken to a waste energy plant ready for processing.
How Do I Report A Missed Bin Collection? Please call us on 0161 766 3330 (Monday-Friday 9.30-3.30pm) or email binfo@busybins.co.uk (please include your address) within 48 hours of the missed collection.
Am I Locked Into A Contract? Certainly not for our domestic service, you can cancel your subscription with us at anytime. You can cancel 7 days before your next bin collection. Plenty of time to consider what you need.
Can You Collect Bin Bags? Of course we can... if booked by prior arrangement online or over the phone. If not, only waste held within the bin will be emptied.
How Does The Money Back Guarantee Work? We are that confident with our service that if you bin isn't emptied on the day we say it will be, then give us a call for your money back!

Lisa Blackband: 'A company I would highly recommend, I’ve booked busy bins numerous times for myself and other family members. They are super efficient and have never let any of us down. Thank you'.
Google Reviews
Alison Schofield: 'Have just booked another collection with Busy Bins, we have used them many times over the years and always been very happy with the service. Such an easy booking system that takes minutes, very reasonably priced too. Great communication as well. Having a full bin stresses me out so much. I know that I can pop online book a collection and when I get home on collection day my bin is emptied (oh and put back neatly where I left it not down the road!) Highly recommended.'
Facebook Reviews
Gemma Anderson: 'I have used busy bins for a while now and they never miss a collection, also hired a skip with them and was another great service highly recommend to assist with any collection.'
Liz Booth: Great service as always, came home from work bin emptied and put back. Thank you'.

Nobody knows what the future brings, all we hope is that we are still providing reliable, recycle collection services for all of Manchester and who knows...maybe even all of the UK!
Here is what we have in store for the future years of Busy Bins:
When we first started Busy Bins & our recycling and rubbish collection, we would be lying if we said that we expected it to be as successful as it has been. Without you, our customers & our community, it is so cliche, but we would be nowhere!
We hope by reading this blog, that you have found all the info needed on our trusty bin collection service.
Remember, if you are ever struggling, by waiting 3 weeks for the council to come calling again, we are always here to help with your household waste and recycling.
We’d love to hear from you!
