Who collects what in Perth and Kinross

Perth and Kinross Council is a single-tier council, so it handles everything: bin collections, recycling, garden waste permits, bulky uplifts and the household waste recycling centres. In Scotland, bulky collections are often called special uplifts.

Bank holidays and Perth and Kinross bin days

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

Date	Bank holiday
Monday, 30 November 2026	St Andrew's Day

Recycling rules in Scotland

Scottish councils set their own collections, and many follow the voluntary Household Recycling Charter, which aims for more consistent recycling across Scotland. Food waste is collected in most urban areas, and many councils charge a yearly permit for garden waste. GOV.UK's bin day finder does not cover Scotland, so use your council's own checker.

How do I find my bin collection day in Perth and Kinross?

Our missed bin guide explains what to expect.
