Bin collection updates

We have now switched over to our new re-balanced collection rounds. Please bear with us while these are established and our crews get to know their new rounds. If your collection is missed, please leave your bin out so that we can empty it as soon as we can.

Go to advice for missed collections w/c 26 July and for rescheduled dates.

We thank you for your patience and apologise for any inconvenience as the new rounds bed-in.

Don't forget:

You can sign-up for bin alerts to get email reminders and updates

Thank you for recycling

Thanks to everyone's efforts recycling is on the up in Bury. This is great news because when you recycle more:

we spend less on waste disposal;
receive more money for the recycling you put in your recycling bins;
you save money that helps to protect other public services.

We thank you for giving recycling a boost in 2017. Please keep up the your good work.
