Christmas 2022 bin collection dates: When your rubbish and recycling will be collected in Yorkshire

There are alternate dates for waste and recycling bins as we approach the Christmas period published by various local councils. With families preparing their festive meals and wrapping presents for their loved ones, there will be an increase in rubbish and recycling waste to get rid of.

Following on from Christmas is New Year, another holiday where bins fill up quickly and in some areas the collection dates may differ. Councils have also provided information about what you should put in each bin and which items are not accepted.

All council websites include a page where you can check online for each household’s collection dates by entering their postcode. Most of these collection dates have been moved by one day.
