BCP Council operates a fortnightly collection schedule across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole. Your collection day depends on your street — check the BCP Council website or download their app to find your specific day.
BCP Council usually collects one day later than normal during bank holiday weeks. Check their website for the adjusted schedule around Christmas, Easter, and May bank holidays.
BCP Council does not collect side waste — any bags left beside your bin will not be taken. If your bin is regularly overflowing, consider whether you're recycling everything you can, or book a TipRun collection for the overflow.
TipRun collects bags of rubbish from £40. Same-day available.
Collection days vary by street. Check the BCP Council website or their app to find your specific day. Enter your postcode and it shows your full collection calendar.
Mixed dry recycling: paper, cardboard, tins, cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles and jars. No food waste, no plastic bags, no textiles.
Brown bins are for garden waste and cost £56/year. Subscribe on the BCP Council website. Collections run fortnightly from March to November.
No — BCP has a strict no side waste policy. Extra bags left beside your bin won't be collected. Consider recycling more or booking a TipRun collection for overflow.
