Christmas bin collections 2026: which councils are changing collection days

Where the information comes from

We check your council's website for your collection days, so you see the same days as your council shows.

Collection days can change around bank holidays. If you're not sure, check your council's website.

Which councils does this work for?

321 councils in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, where 92% of people in the UK live. See all the councils we cover.

A few councils' websites cannot be checked automatically. If yours is one of them, we'll tell you after you enter your postcode, and link to your council's website instead.
