Christmas bin collections 2023 in Central Bedfordshire

Christmas is coming and so are the bin men – but probably not on the day you expect them.

Don’t get caught out as bin collections change over the Christmas and New Year holidays.

As well as adjustments to the days bins are collected the opening times of the council’s recycling centres will also change to accommodate for bank holidays. There will also be a collection service for your real Christmas trees, once the festivities are over.

Please put your wheelie bin or bag out by 7am on the revised collection dates.
