Bank Holiday recycling and waste collections

The City of London Corporation does not provide any recycling or waste collections on bank holidays. Household bins and bags on the street will not be collected.

If your property does not have a binstore and you usually put your clear recycling and white general waste bags on the street for collection, do not put your bags out on a bank holiday. Please keep your bags inside your property until your next collection day – this is usually the next working day or the Saturday after Good Friday. This is in order to comply with the City’s bagged waste restrictions. For more information go to Private Flats without a binstore.

Waste found on the street outside of City of London household waste collections period could be liable for enforcement action. 

If you live in a private block with a binstore or on an estate, your next collection will be the next working day. For more information go to Private Flats with Binstore.

If you live on an estate, and your doorstep collection of recycling and food waste is on a bank holiday, please do not put your clear recycling bags or food caddies out for collection on the doorstep. Please use the recycling and food bins in your communal bin store or put out on your next doorstep collection day.
