Planning your 2026 bin collection calendar
The stored date records fall between 4 March and 26 August 2026. Each address's dates are counted separately, so these totals are not the number of collections at your home. The records can include past and future dates; they are not a complete annual calendar for your address.
When copying dates into a calendar, use the dates returned for your own address and each bin separately. Do not fill gaps or extend the calendar by repeating these measured intervals: they do not confirm holiday changes or dates beyond the returned schedule.
Which bin is it this week?
General waste and mixed recycling both show a fortnightly pattern in the dates above: roughly two weeks between collections for each service. That alone does not tell us whether they fall on the same week or alternate weeks at your home. Don't choose this week's bin just by switching from the one collected last week.
See which bins are due this week and next week for your address. The weekly checker groups returned collection dates by week; it does not predict dates from these frequencies.
Your own bin day depends on your street's round. Enter your postcode above to see your next Wiltshire collection dates.

How bin collections work in Wiltshire
Like most UK local authorities, Wiltshire Council runs separate collections for different types of household waste. Which bins are collected — and how often — varies from street to street, so the most reliable way to find your schedule is to check it against your exact address. Enter your postcode above to see your next Wiltshire collection dates.
General waste, recycling and glass fortnightly. That is the pattern in the collection dates we hold for Wiltshire, which run from 4 March and 26 August 2026, rather than the pattern that is typical nationally. Rounds still differ between streets, so check your own address for the dates that apply to you.

What to do if your bin was missed
If Wiltshire Council misses your collection, a few quick steps usually get it sorted:
- 1 Check it was actually due. Confirm your collection day for the bin in question — it's easy to mix up which week is which.
- 2 Check the council's instructions. Follow its advice on when to report the missed collection and whether to leave your bin out.
- 3 Report it to the council. Use its missed-collection service and keep the reference number. Reporting deadlines vary by council.
- 4 Check your presentation. Confirm the bin was at the council's stated collection point on time, accessible and filled with the correct materials.
Wiltshire bin collection FAQs
When are bins collected in Wiltshire?
General waste, recycling and glass fortnightly. That is what BinMinder has recorded across 6 addresses in Wiltshire. Your own collection day depends on your street's round, so enter your postcode above to see your Wiltshire Council dates.
How do I check my Wiltshire bin collection date?
Enter your postcode on this page. BinMinder looks up your Wiltshire Council collection round and shows your upcoming bin days instantly — no sign-up needed.
Can I get reminders for Wiltshire bin collections?
Yes. BinMinder sends a free reminder the evening before each collection by web push or email, so you never miss a Wiltshire bin day. SMS reminders are also available.
Is BinMinder free?
Web push and email reminders are free forever. SMS reminders are free for your first 3 months, then £1.99/month if you choose to keep them.
What should I do if Wiltshire Council misses my bin collection?
Check Wiltshire Council's missed-collection guidance before moving your bin. Report a missed collection through the council's own website within its stated reporting window. Check its rules on presentation time, access and accepted materials; these vary by council.
Do Wiltshire bin collections change on bank holidays?
They often do. Many UK councils push collections back by a day for the rest of the week after a bank holiday, or run catch-up rounds. BinMinder applies the bank-holiday adjustment your council has published wherever possible, so your reminders reflect the revised dates rather than the normal schedule.
What time should bins be out in Wiltshire?
Check Wiltshire Council's official collection guidance for the required presentation time and where to leave your bins. BinMinder sends a reminder the evening before collection; that reminder time is not the council's collection time.
Does Wiltshire charge for garden waste collection?
Most UK councils now run garden waste as a paid annual subscription, typically £35–£70 per year, and many pause collections over winter. Check Wiltshire Council's website for the current price and sign-up — and once subscribed, BinMinder reminds you before each garden waste collection too.
