Bank holiday bin collections in Fife

Are bins collected on St Andrew’s Day?

St Andrew’s Day is Monday 30 November 2026, a Scottish bank holiday. A bank holiday does not automatically mean your bin day changes.

We have not verified a general bank-holiday collection rule for this council. Check the dates for your address rather than assuming collections move by a day.

Use Fife’s calendar for your own address. An earlier year’s Christmas notice does not establish the dates for winter 2026–27.

Check current council updates for any later disruption. Christmas and New Year collections may have separate arrangements.

Local bins and recycling news

AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.

Fife kept garden-waste collections free in its approved 2026/27 budget. In February 2026, council leader David Ross said the council had rejected introducing a charge while protecting essential services. The budget increased council tax by 5%, which Ross said allowed modest investment in services while closing the funding gap.
