St Martin (Guernsey) bin collection days

St Martin, on Guernsey’s south-east coast, is the one parish that publishes a full road-by-road table of set-out days: every parish road is listed against Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, and all refuse and kerbside recycling must be out by 10pm for collection during the night. Which bags go out that week comes from the States of Guernsey’s My Bin Night.

Use St Martin (Guernsey)’s own page for your bin day

Guernsey collection nights come from the States of Guernsey’s My Bin Night address search, which runs in the browser and is not something BinWeek’s lookup service can query, so the page links to it and to the parish and lets you set your own bin night.

Your nearest tip

Good to know in St Martin (Guernsey)

  • The parish table lists each road with its set-out day. Broadly, Monday covers the Saints Bay, Icart and Moulin Huet side and estates such as Hartlebury and Oakmore Drive; Tuesday covers La Grande Rue, Route de Jerbourg, Les Merriennes and the Ville Amphrey estate; and Wednesday covers Fermain, Calais, Les Hubits, Route de Sausmarez and Forest Road. Several long roads are split between days, so find your own entry on the parish page.
  • All refuse and kerbside recycling should be out by 10pm on your set-out day, because the contractor collects during the night.
  • The parish asks residents of estates to park carefully, especially at night: if the contractor’s vehicle cannot get in, neither can the fire brigade or an ambulance, and no collection is made where access is blocked.
  • For which bags to put out in a given week, the parish links to the States of Guernsey’s My Bin Night search, where you enter your postcode.
  • The island rules apply: stickered rubbish bags, free blue and clear recycling bags and caddy liners from supermarkets, and a reusable glass bag for bottles and jars.
