Missed bin?

Missed collections should be reported to Barnsley Council, usually within a day or two of your scheduled date — most councils won't return for bins reported later than that. Leave the bin out while you report it via the Barnsley Council website.

Bank holidays and changed collections

Collections in Barnsley often move a day later after bank holidays, and severe weather can delay rounds. The council posts revised dates on its website — and when collection changes affect Barnsley, we cover them in our local news.
