All Swindon households will see permanent changes to their waste and recycling collections, in order to provide an efficient and reliable service to residents.
From Christmas Day (25 Dec), all households will see their collection days move by two working days, due to a change in the way Swindon Borough Council operates its services.
As a result of the change, the Council will be able to avoid a 40,000 backlog of collections accruing from households whose current collection day falls on either Christmas Day or Boxing Day. By moving collection days permanently, council crews will not have to catch up on accrued collections caused by the Christmas bank holidays at any point in 2025.
It will also help crews focus on the huge task of collecting the larger volumes of waste and recycling generated over the Christmas period.
Last year, crews had to collect a backlog on top of their daily rounds.
