Festive bin arrangements
West Lothian residents are being advised about changes to bin collections over the festive period.
22 November
News at a glance:
- Brown bin collections will be suspended from Sunday 25 December 2022 until Saturday 7 January 2023.
- Brown bins are used less during the winter months, so suspending collections will allow resources to be prioritised on other collections.
- There will be no grey, blue or green bin collections on Mondays and Tuesdays, 26 and 27 December and 2 and 3 January, due to the public holidays. Residents whose collections are due on these days should put them out the following Wednesday instead, so either 28 December or 4 January and leave them out until they are emptied.
To check your collections dates or sign up for useful email reminders, please visit Household Recycling and Waste.
All bins should be by the kerbside by 7am on collection day and they should be left out until they are emptied.
Please check Bin Collection Daily Updates for updates if there are any further disruptions.
Recycling centres will be open as usual, except for Sunday and Monday, 25 and 26 December and 1 and 2 January when they will be closed.
For more details, please Community Recycling Centres.
No bookings for bulky uplifts will be accepted between 19 December and 9 January to focus on wheeled bin collections.
