Festive bin collection changes across South West Wales – check your dates

Every Christmas the same question crops up in households across South West Wales: when is bin day?

With bank holidays, extra rubbish and recycling, and crews working to revised schedules, it’s easy to get caught out. Councils say they’ve made changes to keep services running smoothly — here’s what you need to know.

Carmarthenshire – early and revised dates

Carmarthenshire County Council says it has moved several collections forward to keep services on track. Residents are urged to put bins out by 6am and remember the three black bag limit.

• Collections due on Monday 22 December will take place a day earlier on Sunday 21 December.
• Christmas Day (Thursday 25 December) collections move to Wednesday 24 December.
• Boxing Day (Friday 26 December) collections move to Sunday 28 December.
• New Year’s Day collections will take place on Friday 2 January, with Friday rounds pushed to Saturday 3 January.

The council says hygiene and nappy waste will follow the same revised schedule. Recycling centres will close on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, and shut at noon on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

Cabinet Member Cllr Edward Thomas said: “Christmas is a time for celebration, and we want to make sure waste collections run smoothly so everyone can enjoy the holidays without worry.”

Swansea – later collections and recycling tips

Swansea Council says collections run as normal until Christmas Eve, but from Christmas Day onwards all rounds will be later than usual.

• Thursday rounds move to Sunday 28 December and Saturday 3 January.
• Friday rounds move to Monday 29 December and Sunday 4 January.
• Normal service resumes on Monday 5 January 2026.

The council is reminding residents to recycle wrapping paper that passes the “scrunch test” and to remove ribbons, bows and glitter. Food waste including turkey carcasses can go in the food caddy. The three black bag limit remains in place, with excess bags accepted at Llansamlet and Clyne recycling centres.

Swansea Council says real Christmas trees can be taken to recycling centres or booked for bulky waste collection. Centres will close at 1pm on Christmas Eve and all day on Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

Neath Port Talbot – minimal disruption

Neath Port Talbot Council says most collections remain unchanged.

• Christmas Day (Thursday 25 December) rounds move to Saturday 27 December.
• Boxing Day (Friday 26 December) rounds move to Sunday 28 December.
• New Year’s Day (Thursday 1 January) rounds move to Friday 2 January, with Friday rounds on Saturday 3 January.

Pembrokeshire – extra bag allowance and tree collections

Pembrokeshire County Council says it will allow one extra residual waste bag on the first collection after Christmas to help households cope with festive excess.

Kerbside sort containers remain in use:

• Blue sack for cardboard and cards without glitter.
• Blue box for paper and recyclable wrapping paper.
• Red sack for plastics, cartons and tins.
• Green caddy for food waste including turkey bones.
• Green box for glass bottles and jars.

The council says collections will not take place on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day. Missed rounds will be picked up two days later.

Residents can book a real Christmas tree collection for £5.60 via My Account or the council’s contact centre, with collections scheduled between 5–16 January 2026. Trees can also be taken to recycling centres free of charge.

Pembrokeshire County Council says Waste and Recycling Centres will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, with some sites offering additional opening dates around the holidays.

@barryf I'm regretting starting this fun little project now lol.

3 hours later and vibe coding with ChatGPT is almost getting me to where I need to be. Seems like there's already a Home Automation script on Github to do this which I probably should have just used instead.

In case any other Mancs are reading, here are some links:

@barryf good idea to use ChatGPT to create a script for grabbing council #binday data 😂 copying that

It's brown bin day, yeah?
The one we pay extra for
I'll compost instead

It's grey bin collection day but last night one person also put out an additional green bin. This morning, in a fit of "maybe we got this wrong" so many more people have also put their green bins out (green bins are next week) . It is not green bin day (or is it?)
Grown ups eh. #BinDay #ViralBins

Me getting in a panic that I didn't put the general waste bin out for collection (damn you adulting) only to find we have no general waste to put out. #BinDay #GetThemBinsOutButler

Autobins Wheelies in diguise ... #autobins #binday #AIIsDestroyingOurBins

6:15am a #rubbish #truck went down the close near us. It's not #BinDay so I'm not sure what it's collecting. I'm used to being woken up by "this truck is reversing" but as it came back to the #road I got a whole new experience: "this truck is turning left, this truck is...". Perhaps next week it'll be announcing gear changes as well.
10 min later #dogwalkers were #chatting under the #bedroom #window. Sleep? Fat chance.

City council are due to replace my wheelie bin today. It has a large crack on the side.

The bin has a date stamp on the lid: 1989. It's had a good run - anyone got a wheelie bin older than my outgoing Taylor Swift-era one?

It felt like only yesterday I was printing off the 2022 bin collection day calendar.

Yet here I am, on the council website, printing out the 2023 calendar.
