Bucks Council announces altered bin collection schedule for Easter 2026
Bucks Council is changing its bin collection dates to account for the upcoming Easter Bank Holidays.
Bucks Council also advises that from April 1 all Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) will be moving to summer opening hours. The authority adds that on collection dates bins must be left out by 6:30am.
Here is the revised Easter collection schedule:
Normal collection day Revised collection day
-Good Friday (April 3) -Saturday April 4
-Easter Monday (April 6) -Tuesday April 7
-Tuesday April 7 -Wednesday April 8
-Wednesday April 8 -Thursday April 9
-Thursday April 9 -Friday April 10
-Friday April 10 -Saturday April 11
Buckinghamshire’s 10 household recycling centres will move to their longer summer opening hours of 9am – 6pm on usual days. The council has confirmed that the sites will remain open over the Easter bank holiday weekend, including Good Friday and Easter Monday.
Residents are advised to check the council’s website before travelling to avoid using the centres at busier times. Councillor Ade Osibogun said: “I’m sure many people will be using the long bank holiday weekend to get out in the garden or do some spring cleaning at home so our HRCs will be busy but with the longer opening hours it will allow people more flexibility on when to visit.
“Don't forget we can recycle over 20 different types of waste at our recycling centres. If you sort your waste before you visit you can recycle more and enjoy a quicker visit.”
