Household Recycling and Waste

Information about recycling and waste at home including checking your bin collection dates, reporting issues and information on what goes in each bin.

Put out your bins as normal over Easter holiday weekend

West Lothian residents should put out their bins on their usual collection dates over the Easter weekend.

Bins should be left out until they are emptied, and 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 likely to be delayed. Our hard-working teams are aiming to have all bins uplifted within a week of your usual collection date.
