About bin collections in Wiltshire Council
Wiltshire Council serves around 220,000 households across one of England's largest unitary authorities, covering Chippenham, Salisbury, Trowbridge, Devizes, Marlborough, Warminster and their surrounding towns, villages and rural areas. General waste and recycling are collected fortnightly on alternating weeks. Full service information is at wiltshire.gov.uk/bins.
The grey wheelie bin is for non-recyclable household waste collected fortnightly. The blue-lidded wheelie bin accepts all mixed dry recycling in one container — paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and rigid plastic containers, metal cans and tins, glass bottles and jars. No need to separate materials. Each bin is collected once every two weeks, alternating weeks, so one is always due each fortnight.
The brown bin is available by paid subscription for garden waste — grass cuttings, leaves, twigs and plant material — collected fortnightly throughout the year. To subscribe or check availability, visit wiltshire.gov.uk or call 0300 456 0100.
Collections do not take place on bank holidays; a missed day shifts collections by one working day for the rest of that week. Report missed collections at wiltshire.gov.uk or by calling 0300 456 0100. HWRCs are at Chippenham, Salisbury, Trowbridge, Devizes, Marlborough and Warminster.
