A personal assistant that lives in your WhatsApp and tells you which bin to put out, the night before collection
Free · Works with 300+ UK councils
Binjamin is a free WhatsApp assistant that reminds you which bin to put out the night before collection. Works with 300+ UK councils.
It reads your council's own collection calendar. It keeps checking it for changes, like bank holidays, and messages you if your dates move.
Binjamin is made by Alfred. Our goal is to take the hassle out of running a home for Alfred members, starting with the small jobs that are easy to forget, like bin day.
In 2027 we're launching Alfred as one provider for your household bills. Alfred takes care of the bills. Binjamin takes care of the bins. Check us out.
Add to WhatsAppIt reads your council's own website, using your postcode or address. It checks it again every week, and more often before bank holidays.
It works with 300+ UK councils, about 9 in 10. Enter your postcode and you'll see straight away. If your council isn't covered, or its website is having a slow day, you can add your bin days yourself and still get reminders.
Nothing. Binjamin is free for everyone, and included with Alfred membership.
Binjamin spots changes on your council's calendar, such as bank holiday moves, and messages you with the new date.
Reply WRONG to a reminder, or tap "These aren't my days" when you check your bins. Binjamin then looks up your home on its own.

Reply STOP. Reply START to turn them back on.
We use your address to find your bin days and your WhatsApp number to send your reminders. We never sell your data or share it for third-party marketing. See our privacy policy.

These terms cover your use of Binjamin, the WhatsApp bin reminder, and this website. By signing up, you agree to them. Our privacy policy explains how we use your data.
Binjamin is run by Alfred Wholesale Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 16293586), 9 Thorney Leys Park, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX28 4GE. VAT number GB515464789. "We" and "us" mean Alfred Wholesale Limited.
Binjamin reads your council's collection calendar and sends you a WhatsApp message the evening before collection, saying which bins to put out. It keeps checking for changes, such as bank holiday moves, and tells you if your dates change.
Binjamin is free. We'll tell you before we ever charge for any part of it.
We get your bin days from your council's own website. Councils sometimes change dates at short notice, publish them late or get them wrong, and collections can be missed for reasons we can't see. So we can't promise every reminder will be on time or correct.
Your council's information always comes first. If something looks wrong, check with your council, and reply WRONG so we can look again. We're not responsible for missed collections, or for any charges or penalties your council applies.
By signing up, you agree to get bin reminders and Binjamin updates on WhatsApp. Unless you opt out, Alfred may also tell you about its other home admin services. Reply STOP at any time to stop all messages, or START to turn them back on.
You can share your invite link with neighbours. Only share it with people who'd want it, and don't post it anywhere that breaks that site's rules.
You can stop using Binjamin at any time: reply STOP, or message DELETE to erase your account. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. We may also change Binjamin, or stop running it, and we'll give you notice on WhatsApp where we can.
We provide Binjamin with reasonable care and skill. We're not responsible for losses we couldn't reasonably have foreseen, for problems caused by your council, WhatsApp or your phone, or for events outside our control.
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can't be limited by law. Nothing in them affects your legal rights as a consumer.
We may update these terms, for example when Binjamin changes or the law does. We'll update the date at the top, and tell you on WhatsApp about any important change.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
Questions or complaints: privacy@alfred.co.uk, or message Binjamin on WhatsApp.
Sending this message is how Binjamin knows the number is really yours.
