When will bins be collected across Bedford Borough over Christmas?

When to put your bins out over the Christmas period is a problem that defines a British Christmas, and unless you’ve got a ‘binfluencer’ on your street you can be excused for not knowing when your wheelie bin, let alone which colour, should be dragged to the kerbside.

Thankfully we can lift the veil on this annual mystery with the bin collection changes for Christmas 2024, in a handy table below.

Don’t forget, for the rest of the year (barring some bank holiday weekends) bin collections in Bedford Borough operate on an alternate weekly basis:

• One week your black bin for general waste will be collected
• The following week your orange-lidded and green-lidded bin* (if you have one) will be collected

Collection schedules may be different if you live in a property that uses shared bins.

*Garden waste collections (green-lidded bins) run from 1 March to 30 November each year.
