Who collects what in Gwynedd

Gwynedd Council is a single-tier council, so it runs bin collections, kerbside recycling, garden waste and the household waste recycling centres. Many Welsh councils ask you to sort recycling into separate boxes or bags at the kerb.

Bank holidays and Gwynedd bin days

When a bank holiday lands on or before your collection day, Gwynedd may collect as normal or move collections later in the week. These are the next bank holidays in England and Wales:

Date	Bank holiday
Friday, 25 December 2026	Christmas Day
Monday, 28 December 2026	Boxing Day (substitute day)
Friday, 1 January 2027	New Year's Day
Friday, 26 March 2027	Good Friday
Monday, 29 March 2027	Easter Monday

Christmas and New Year cause the biggest changes. See Christmas bin collections for what usually happens.

Recycling rules in Wales

Welsh councils have some of the highest household recycling rates in the world. Many collect recycling every week and ask households to sort materials into separate boxes, bags or caddies at the kerbside rather than mixing everything in one bin. General waste is often collected less often, and some councils limit how many black bags you can put out.

Gwynedd bin questions

How do I find my bin collection day in Gwynedd?

Enter your postcode on this page to confirm that Gwynedd collects your bins, then use the Gwynedd website. Pick your address and it shows the next date for each bin. Copy those dates into our bin calendar to get reminders.

Do Gwynedd bin days change on bank holidays?

Many councils keep normal collection days on most bank holidays and only change around Christmas and New Year, while others move every collection in a bank holiday week by a day. Gwynedd publishes any changes on its website before each holiday. Our bank holiday page lists the dates for England and Wales.

What should I do if Gwynedd misses my bin?

Check your bin day first, as collections sometimes run late into the evening. If the rest of your street has been emptied and yours has not, report it on the Gwynedd website, usually within one or two working days. Leave the bin out unless the council says otherwise. Our missed bin guide explains what to expect.

Does Gwynedd collect food waste?

Most councils in Wales collect food waste in a small kitchen caddy and a larger outdoor caddy, though some rural and island areas do not. Check the Gwynedd website for your address.

Where is the tip for Gwynedd?

Gwynedd or its waste partnership runs the local household waste recycling centres. Many tips now need a booking, and vans and trailers may need a permit, so check before you go.

Which postcodes does Gwynedd cover?

Gwynedd collects bins in all or part of these postcode districts: LL23, LL35, LL36, LL37, LL38, LL39, LL40, LL41, LL42, LL43, LL44, LL45, LL46, LL47, LL48, LL49, LL51, LL52, LL53, LL54, LL55, LL56, LL57, SY20. Districts on the edge of the council area can be shared with a neighbouring council, so enter your full postcode to be sure.

Bin Collection Day is independent and not run by Gwynedd Council. Collection dates and services can change at short notice; the council's website is always the final word.
