Household Waste Collection Services
Brown Bin (food and garden) collections will be suspended from W/C 30 March. Last collections will take place Sunday, 29 March. After this date Food and garden waste can be placed in your grey bin.
Glass Box collections are suspended until further notice with immediate effect. We would ask people to retain their glass at home for future recycling or, where this is not possible, to place it within your grey bin.
Blue Bins (plastics & cans) will now be collected once every four weeks. Your collection week is also temporarily changing — please check our website and social media for full details.
Grey Bins will continue to be collected as normal every two weeks on your scheduled collection day.
Green Bins will continue to be collected as normal every four weeks on your scheduled collection day.
This means that only ONE bin will be collected each week until further notice. Please follow the new temporary timetable which is listed below.

- W/C 30th March — GREY Bins only
- W/C 6th April — GREEN Bins only
- W/C 13th April — GREY Bins only

Prior to each collection week, we will be reminding the public what bin is due for collection on the Council’s social media channels — Twitter and Facebook. The new arrangements and a summary of the changes can also be found on the dedicated Coronavirus service disruptions page on the Stirling Council website.
For the time being, please disregard the waste and recycling collection calendars that were recently posted to your house.
COVID-19 — Safe Waste Presentation Procedures
Any individuals asked to self-isolate, either as a precaution or because they are confirmed to have Coronavirus (COVID-19), should follow this advice to dispose of their household waste to ensure the virus is not spread via personal waste:
- Individuals should place all personal waste such as used tissues and disposable cleaning cloths, securely in a plastic bag or bin liner
- This plastic bag should then be placed in another plastic bag and securely tied
- These bags must be stored separately to other waste for at least 72 hours before being placed in your grey bin.
Household Waste and Recycling Centres
Following the restrictions announced by the UK and Scottish Governments on 23 March, all Stirling Council Household Waste and Recycling Centres (tips) are now closed until further notice.
Polmaise Depot Weighbridge Service
The weighbridge at Polmaise Depot Waste Transfer Station will be closed to commercial customers until further notice. Commercial customers involved in critical supply chain delivery (as outlined by Government announcements) requiring disposal services during this period, should contact the Council’s Customer Service Centre on 01786 404040.
Special Uplift Service
