Bank holiday refuse and recycling collections
Bank Holiday refuse and recycling collections
Christmas and New Year Bin Collections 2025/26
Changes to bin collections over Christmas and New Year
Please refer to your new 2025/26 Recycling and Refuse Collections Calendar – which can also be found here: Bin collection calendars | Pendle Borough Council
Remember to put your bin out the night before if you want a lie in!
And please make sure that you keep access to your street clear so that our bin wagons can get through. One of the main reasons for missed bin collections on bank holidays is because of double parking and cars blocking back streets.
Collections are back to normal from Monday 12 January 2026.
Bulky waste collections
There will be no bulky waste collections on 25 and 26 December 2025 and 1 January 2026.
Christmas trees
You can take your real Christmas tree to any Household Waste Recycling Centres.
If you don't want to recycle your tree, you can put it out with your normal waste on collection day.
Recycling advice for over the Christmas period
You can take extra waste and recycling to your local Household Waste Recycling Centres. They are closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
Extra recycling
We cannot accept any extra recycling in plastic bags/sacks.
Extra recycling must be left out on the correct day in a box where we can see the contents and empty straight into the waggon. We will return the box to you.
Please do not use a carbodard box if the weather is wet.
If it is a cardboard box containing paper and cardboard left with your blue bin, we will recycle the box with the contents.
We will not collect extra none recyaclable waste.
