UK disposal map

UK recycling, donation & disposal map

The UK's live map of recycling centres, charity drop-offs, glass banks, soft-plastic points and public bins — searchable by item, town or postcode.

Start with the thing you want to get rid of. Binmap resolves the item, shows the right destination type, then helps you move toward the nearest useful option instead of dumping you into a blank map.

  • 29,718 live UK bin records
  • 2,404 covered areas
  • 15,469 researched non-bin destinations
  • 9 tracked disposal categories
  • 42 item guides ready to search

What Binmap helps with

  • Search by item, town, postcode or place name to open the right disposal route first instead of guessing which map layer you need.
  • Binmap combines public bins with researched recycling centres, donation points, retailer take-back, reuse hubs and specialist drop-offs.
  • Every major item, category, service and covered area has its own crawlable page so you can land directly on the right route.

Key points

Item-first search

People think “old batteries”, “tip near me” and “where can I donate clothes”, not taxonomy labels. The product now starts there.

Coverage plus guidance

Live street-bin coverage is paired with research-backed routes for recycling centres, donation, retailer take-back and specialist disposal.

Built for local SEO

Every major category, item and covered locality has its own crawlable page, metadata, schema and internal linking path.
