Bank Holiday collections

Collections will usually run one day late during the week after each Bank Holiday using the following Saturday to complete the catch-up. Normal collection schedules resume as of the week after each of these periods.

Collection schedules around Christmas and Easter, where there are several Bank Holidays in quick succession, may differ from this.

. Collection calendars for the full year can be downloaded via our collection days page.

Christmas and New Year 2025 to 2026

Recycling and rubbish collections will pause over Christmas and New Year. Details will be added here nearer the time.

To check if your recycling collection is week one or week two, please log in to my.crawley.gov.uk or call 01293 438772.

Collections may not be made at the usual time of day during the holiday period, so please ensure your recycling and rubbish bin(s) are placed out at the edge of your property, not blocking pavements, by 7.30am on your collection day, and are clearly visible.

Excess waste

Over bank holidays and Christmas, we will take one additional average-sized sack or bag of rubbish for every day your collection is delayed. For example, if your collection day is usually a Monday and we collect your waste the following day on Tuesday, you can place one additional bag out for collection.
