Bank holiday bin collections in Inverclyde
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.

AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Inverclyde Council announced in August 2025 that it would extend blue-bin kerbside recycling to almost 4,000 tenement and flatted properties not previously covered, funded via Zero Waste Scotland's Recycling Improvement Fund. Information packs were due to be posted at the end of August 2025, with new fortnightly recycling collections planned to begin in October 2025. Affected households would move from weekly to fortnightly general waste collection, receiving either a blue bin or blue sacks depending on their current setup. Some existing recycling customers would also see their collection day change.
