Disruption to collections
Due to extreme heat, some recycling and waste could not be collected from Monday 22 to Friday 26 June 2026.
If your recycling and food waste was due to be collected on Friday, please bring your bins, boxes and bags back in. Put them out for next week’s collection.
Please leave out your black bin, green bin and large household items to be collected on Saturday 27 June.
You can also take food waste and recycling to one of our Sort It recycling centres. You will need to book your visit.
Collection crews will be out early all next week, so please put your bins, boxes and bags out the night before your collection.
We also have the South Gloucestershire Council app you can use to check your waste collection dates on your mobile or tablet. It can send notifications and reminders to help you keep track.
Collection dates are not available for flats with communal bins.
When we collect and how often
Our teams are out collecting every day of the year including bank holidays, except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
Normal collections are made:
Weekly
- recycling (boxes, white bag and blue bags)
- food waste (food bin)
Fortnightly
- garden waste (green bin)
Three-weekly
- general waste (black bin)
Remember to:
- put your bins, boxes and bags out by 7am on your collection day
- tie the blue bags for soft plastics with a double knot
- make sure the bin lids are closed
- put your bins, boxes and bag away again as soon as possible after collection
If you have health or mobility problems and need help to put your recycling and bins out, you can request an assisted collection.
