Bank holiday bin collections in Renfrewshire

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.

Check the council’s current collection calendar rather than relying on an older printed schedule.

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

Renfrewshire plans to extend its solar-powered litter-bin trial from Paisley to Johnstone, following an August 2026 policy-board report. The council said thirteen compactor bins tested in Paisley had helped staff adjust collections, avoid unnecessary visits and reduce the risk of overflowing bins.

Councillor Stephen Burns questioned whether disabled residents could operate them, citing a wheelchair user unable to use a foot pedal. Officers agreed to check the controls and consider accessibility before proceeding. No installation date was announced for Johnstone; results from both towns will guide future bin locations and collection schedules. The thirteen existing bins will remain in Paisley during the extension.
