Put out your bins as normal on May bank holiday
West Lothian residents who have a scheduled bin collection on Monday 5 May 2025 should put their bins out as normal for 7am.
Bins should be left out until they are emptied, householders are asked to be patient while crews work to clear any backlog caused by the bank holiday.
Resources will be prioritised to collect grey and brown bins, 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.
Anyone who is unsure of their collection dates can check and register for emails reminder at Household Recycling and Waste.
You can check for updates on any delayed collections at Bin Collection Information and Updates
Both Whitburn and Oakbank recycling centres will be open as normal on Monday 5 May. To book a visit, please go to Community Recycling Centre (CRC) bookings.
If you have booked a recycling centre visit and no longer require it, please cancel your booking so it can be used by another grateful local resident. Links to cancel or modify your booking are on the confirmation email you received when booking your visit.
