Bins should be left out until they are emptied, householders are asked to be patient while crews work to clear any backlog caused by the bank holidays on Good Friday 3 April and Easter Monday 6 April 2026.
Resources will be prioritised to collect grey and brown bins on the bank holiday days, with green and blue bins possibly delayed. Our hard-working teams are aiming to have all bins uplifted within a week of your usual collection date.
Anyone who is unsure of their collection dates can check and register for emails reminder at Information on Bins and Recycling.
You can check for updates on any delayed collections at Bin Collection Information and Updates
All five of West Lothian's recycling centres will be open as normal over the Easter holiday weekend. To book a visit, please go to Welcome to the online booking system for CRC's.
If you have booked a recycling centre visit and no longer require it, please cancel your booking so it can be used by another resident. Links to cancel or modify your booking are on the confirmation email you received when booking your visit.
