What If My Collection Day Falls on a Holiday?

If your bin collection day falls on a holiday, Swindon Borough Council has made permanent changes to the collection schedule. Specifically, all collection days will move by two working days. This adjustment is designed to prevent backlogs typically caused by collections scheduled on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Here’s how the new schedule works for collection days:

If you put your bin out on the old collection day after the change, it won’t be collected until your new collection day. You can check your updated collection day by entering your postcode into the rubbish and recycling collection days tool.
