Bin collections
Bin collections will run as usual, check your bin day whenever you need at www.bedford.gov.uk/bins.
Household Waste and Recycling Centre
The Household Waste and Recycling Centre (‘the tip’) is open as usual, find all the information you’ll need before your visit at www.bedford.gov.uk/HWRC. Bank holidays are usually very busy so if you can, please visit earlier or later in the day as these are a little quieter.
We also ask if you can try to sort your waste by material type before you arrive as this will make it quicker for you once you arrive. Please keep any children or pets in your vehicle and do not let them out while on site.
