Barnsley bin collection dates Christmas 2021: Xmas and New Year timetable in full - and are there any changes

Grey bins will be collected as usual – if your grey bin is due to be emptied on Tuesday December 28 this will be done as normal.

Brown and blue bins that were scheduled for collection on Tuesday December 28 will be rescheduled.

Councillor Chris Lamb, cabinet spokesperson for place (environment and transportation), said: “I’d like to thank all our residents who have committed to recycling over the past year.

“We understand more waste is generated throughout the festive period and would like to encourage residents to continue to be responsible with their waste and help to keep Barnsley clean and green.

“We hope you will be making good use of your brown bin with the addition of three new items; plastic pots, tubs and trays – part of our ongoing work to protect our planet and help make Barnsley more sustainable.

“Our household waste and recycling sites across the borough will be open as normal over the festive period (apart from Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day) for any additional waste or recycling.”

When will my bin be collected?
