Leeds bin collections: How to check your bin day for the August bank holiday period

Use the ‘Check your bin day’ tool on the Leeds City Council website to find your upcoming bin collection dates.

Many supermarkets, DIY stores and pharmacies will have reduced opening hours on bank holiday Monday (31 August). Shoppers are advised to check the opening times of their local stores before heading out for some shopping.

In some areas of the country, household bin collections will be affected and take place on a different day to usual. However, Leeds City Council have confirmed that bin collections in the city are scheduled to go ahead as normal over the bank holiday period.

Here’s how to check your bin day in Leeds for the August bank holiday period.
