Alderney bin collection days

Alderney, the northernmost of the Channel Islands, runs its waste service through the States of Alderney’s own States Works department rather than a parish or a contractor. Every household has a weekly collection for general rubbish; recycling is taken to the Household Waste Recycling Centre at Crabby, bulkier and awkward items to the Impot, and garden waste to the green waste site at Mannez.

Last checked against 2 sources (alderney.gov.gg).

Check your bin day

Use Alderney’s own page for your bin day

The States of Alderney does not publish collection days online and asks residents to contact States Works, so there is nothing for BinWeek to look up; the page links to the States and lets you set your own bin day.
