Festive bin arrangements
West Lothian residents are being advised over changes to bin collections over the festive period.
Brown bin collections will be cancelled from Monday 25 December for two weeks, resuming on Monday 8 January.
Less garden waste in winter means households should have enough spare capacity in their brown bins to miss one collection, which will allow resources to be prioritised on grey, blue and green collections.
All grey, blue and green bins should be put out on your usual collection day. Bins will be collected over the course of the week during the Christmas and New Year period, so please leave them out until they are emptied.
To check your collection dates or sign up for useful email reminders, please visit Household Recycling and Waste
Bins should be by the kerbside by 7am on collection day and they should be left out until they are emptied. Please make sure that only the correct items are placed in your recycling bins, and all items in the blue and green bins should always be empty, clean and dry.
Please check Bin Collection Daily Updates for updates if there are any further disruptions.
All recycling centres will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, 25 and 26 December 2023 and 1 and 2 January 2024. To book a slot at a recycling centre, please Community Recycling Centre (CRC) bookings
No bookings for bulky uplifts will be accepted between 18 December 2023 and 8 January 2024 to focus on wheeled bin collections.
