Bin collection days are different over Christmas and New Year. Check below to see if you need to put your bin out on a different day from normal.

Barrow area collection times

You should leave you bins out from 7am till 5pm.

All garden waste should be placed in your brown wheelie bin outside the boundary of your property as we cannot enter without prior permission unless you have requested an assessed collection.

Christmas refuse and recycling collections for 2024 (Barrow only)

Week commencing Monday 6 January 2025 All collections will be on the normal day.

Green Waste collections will cease week commencing 23 December 2024 and will resume on 6 January 2025.

Eden area collection times

Christmas refuse collections for 2024 (Eden area only)

For your recycling collections check your recycling calendar.

Collections times in Eden are:

• 7am for garden and recycling waste collections
• 6am for household waste collections

Place no more than three garden waste bins on the kerb or collection point. We will only collect up to a maximum of 5 bags of side waste. 

We will leave the same number of replacement bags as those set out for collection up to a maximum of 2. 

Properties in Penrith receive a 6 monthly allocation of blue bags in February and August rather than weekly, eliminating the need for blue bags to be delivered on each collection.

If your refuse contains hot ashes, you can put them in a dustbin. The dustbin must be made of steel and have two handles. Set the dustbin on the kerb or collection point by 6am on collection days.

South Lakeland area collection times

There are no green bin collections from Monday 9 December until Monday 17 February.

Christmas refuse and recycling collections for 2024 (South Lakeland area only)

All collections are between 7am to 3pm.
