Christmas bin collections | Sevenoaks District Council

Christmas bin collections

In addition to the changes below, garden waste collections will be suspended from Monday 21 December 2026 and will resume on Monday 18 January 2027.
 

Revised general waste, recycling and food waste collection days

Please put these bins out by 7am on your collection day. Leave them out until they have been emptied or until 4pm, whichever comes first.

Different vehicles empty your wheelie bins and food waste bins. This means your bins may be emptied at different times on your collection day. Collection times may also vary from week to week, especially over the festive period.

There will be no changes to collection days up to and including Thursday 24 December.
