Check Your Wilton Bin Plan and 2026 Collection Route
Wilton Waste Recycling Limited provides household wheelie-bin collections across County Cavan and selected surrounding areas, with separate general waste, recycling, organic and glass bins.
The important part is knowing both your pricing plan and your assigned A or B collection route. General, recycling and organic bins run on an every-two-weeks pattern, while the glass bin is normally collected quarterly.
Quick answer for household customers
Wilton’s domestic wheelie-bin service is primarily a County Cavan service. Customers can receive general waste, recycling, food/organic and glass bins.
Your exact day is not enough to identify your calendar. Wilton publishes separate A and B routes for Monday through Friday, so use the calendar assigned to your account.
Collection frequency
General waste: every two weeks
Recycling: every two weeks
Organic/food: every two weeks
Glass: approximately once per quarter
Wilton says SMS reminders are sent the evening before when customers have provided a mobile number and opted into reminders.
Where Does Wilton Waste Recycling Provide Household Bin Collections?
Wilton Recycling currently advertises its household wheelie-bin collection service across County Cavan and selected surrounding areas. The company does not publish one simple town-by-town national household coverage list because service availability depends on the active collection routes.
County Cavan households
Cavan is the core domestic wheelie-bin service area. The official household page describes the service specifically as a County Cavan household collection service.
Homes near the county boundary
Some selected surrounding areas may also be covered. Use your Eircode in the sign-up process or contact the wheelie-bin team rather than assuming a nearby address is automatically included.
Do not confuse service types. Wilton provides skip hire and other waste services across a much wider area, but its published household wheelie-bin service is centred on County Cavan.
Wilton Waste Recycling Bin Prices and Plans for 2026
Wilton currently offers two main household charging models: Pay by Weight and Pay As You Use. They work differently, so compare the ongoing charging method rather than looking only at the initial payment.
| Feature | Pay by Weight | Pay As You Use |
|---|---|---|
| Initial payment | €127 for the first six-month period | €60: €30 registration + €30 starting credit |
| Monthly service charge | No monthly service charge | €7/month |
| Introductory service fee | Not stated as applicable | Official page currently advertises €4.50/month for the first six months |
| General waste | Weight-based; current page references a 400kg allowance and also €0.23/kg wording | €13.50 per empty |
| Recycling | Two collections per month included | €6.50 per empty |
| Organic/compost | Two collections per month included | €5.50 per empty |
| Glass | Quarterly collection included | €6.50 per empty |
Pay-by-Weight wording needs confirmation at signup. Wilton’s current page states that the €127 six-month plan includes a 400kg weight allowance, while another part of the same page says combined general-waste weight is calculated at €0.23/kg. Because the published wording does not fully explain how those two statements interact, confirm the current allowance/excess-weight calculation before paying.
Prices can change during the year. The figures above are the amounts displayed on Wilton’s current household wheelie-bin page during this 2026 verification.
Wilton Recycling 2026 Bin Collection Calendar
Wilton publishes dedicated 2026 calendars rather than one universal County Cavan collection date. Routes are organised by weekday and an A or B cycle.
| Collection day | Available route calendars | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Monday A / Monday B | Use the A or B calendar assigned to your address. |
| Tuesday | Tuesday A / Tuesday B | Do not use Tuesday A simply because your bin is collected on Tuesday. |
| Wednesday | Wednesday A / Wednesday B | Confirm the route on your account or reminder. |
| Thursday | Thursday A / Thursday B | Check the official 2026 PDF for the correct cycle. |
| Friday | Friday A / Friday B | Use your assigned route and present the bin the previous evening. |
Open Wilton’s official household page and select your 2026 A/B calendar. The page provides downloadable PDFs and options to add route dates to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.
Do not guess your A/B route. Two homes with the same collection weekday can belong to different alternating cycles. If you do not know whether your account is A or B, check your Wilton reminder/account or call the wheelie-bin office.
When should the bin go out?
Wilton tells customers to place bins out the evening before collection. Some routes can begin from approximately 4am, so putting the bin out after waking up can be too late.
If you have opted into SMS collection reminders, Wilton says it sends a reminder the evening before collection. Keep the mobile number on the account current.
Wilton Wheelie Bin Sizes
| Bin | Published size | Collection pattern |
|---|---|---|
| General waste | 240 litres | Every two weeks |
| Recycling | 240 litres | Every two weeks |
| Glass | 140 litres | Approximately quarterly |
| Standard organic/food bin | 25 litres | Every two weeks |
| Optional larger compost bin | 140 litres | Available to Pay-by-Weight customers; useful for households producing more food/garden organic material |
Wilton states that physical bin size does not change the principle of Pay-by-Weight billing: general-waste charging is linked to recorded waste weight rather than simply the container size.

Do not put loose extra bags beside the bin. Wilton says each container is assigned to a customer and needs to be weighed correctly, so loose bags cannot simply be attributed to the account under the Pay-by-Weight system.
Wilton Bin Payments, Top-Ups and Customer Account
The household service supports several ways to manage payments. Wilton currently lists monthly direct debit, card payment by phone, online customer-portal payment and Payzone outlets.
Online account
Customers can use Wilton’s online services to manage the household bin account and monitor waste information. Pay-by-Weight customers can also monitor recorded bin weights through the website or app.
Mobile reminders
Providing a mobile number allows collection reminders and low-credit messages. Customers can opt into weekly SMS bin reminders during signup.
Paper billing
The current online signup form offers optional paper billing at €5.95 per biannual bill. Customers who do not need paper statements should check the available electronic account options before selecting it.
For Pay As You Use, make sure sufficient credit remains on the account before the collection date. Wilton’s signup information says low-balance SMS messages are available when a mobile number and consent are provided.
What to Do If Wilton Does Not Collect Your Bin
Wilton’s household FAQ tells customers with a missed collection to contact the wheelie-bin office on 049 433 6476. The company says staff can help arrange the collection again.
Check the correct A/B calendar
Confirm that today was actually your scheduled date and that you were looking at the correct route cycle.
Check which bin was due
Do not assume every container goes out together. Use the official route calendar or SMS reminder.
Check account/payment status
If you use a credit-based service, confirm that the account had enough credit and no unresolved account issue.
Leave the details ready when you call
Have the account address/Eircode, bin type, scheduled route and collection date available so support can identify the issue quickly.
Call the wheelie-bin team
Phone 049 433 6476 and ask what action is required for the missed lift.
How to Sign Up for Wilton Household Bins
The online household form asks for your region, name, telephone number, email address, home address and Eircode. You then choose the service type and any optional communication or billing preferences.
Check whether your Eircode is covered
Household collection is concentrated in County Cavan with selected nearby areas, so coverage should be confirmed before payment.
Compare the two charging models
Consider how often you present bins and how much general waste your household normally produces.
Confirm current pricing
In particular, ask how the current 400kg Pay-by-Weight allowance and any per-kilogram excess/general-waste charge are applied.
Provide the mobile number you will actually use
This enables useful collection-day and account-balance reminders if you opt into them.
Record your weekday and A/B route
Once the service is activated, save the correct 2026 calendar rather than relying on a generic fortnightly pattern.

How often are Wilton bins collected?
Wilton says general waste, recycling and organic bins are collected every two weeks. The household glass bin is normally collected once per quarter.
Where can I find the Wilton Recycling 2026 calendar?
The official household wheelie-bin page contains downloadable 2026 calendars for Monday A/B, Tuesday A/B, Wednesday A/B, Thursday A/B and Friday A/B routes, with Google Calendar and Apple Calendar options.
How do I know whether I am on an A or B route?
Do not infer it from your weekday alone. Check the route assigned to your account, collection reminder or contact Wilton’s wheelie-bin office if you are unsure.
When should I put my Wilton bin out?
Wilton tells customers to put bins out the evening before collection because some routes can begin from around 4am.
How much is Wilton Pay As You Use?
The current official page lists €13.50 per general-waste lift, €6.50 per recycling lift, €6.50 per glass lift and €5.50 per compost lift, plus a €7 monthly service charge. The initial payment is €60, comprising €30 registration and €30 starting credit. The page currently advertises an introductory €4.50 monthly service fee for the first six months.
How much is Wilton Pay by Weight?
The current page lists an initial €127 charge covering six months with no monthly service charge. It also references a 400kg allowance and €0.23/kg general-waste charging wording, so customers should confirm exactly how the current weight allowance and excess usage calculation work before signing up.

Wilton says no. Each bin is assigned to a customer and weighed, so loose bags cannot be correctly allocated under the Pay-by-Weight system.

First confirm the correct A/B route, scheduled bin and account status. Wilton’s household FAQ then directs customers to call the wheelie-bin office on 049 433 6476 for help rearranging the collection.
