Barnsley Council’s updated 2023 bin calendar is now available to residents, providing details of bin schedules running from January 2023 to January 2024, including changes to the Christmas and New Year service. 

Residents can now view the new calendar on Barnsley Council’s website. For some residents, there may be a slight change compared to last year’s so it’s important to check.

Residents who are not online are encouraged to seek help from friends, family, or neighbours. Alternatively, they can visit their local library, and a member of staff will assist them in printing off a paper copy. Computers need to be booked in advance online or by calling (01226) 773555.

Councillor James Higginbottom, Cabinet Spokesperson for Environment and Highways said: “Our bin calendar design makes it easy for residents to see at a glance when their bin days are. Just search for ‘Barnsley Council bin calendars’ to find it.

“If residents would like a paper copy of their annual bin collection calendar, they are available on our website to download and print at home. Alternatively, they can visit their local library, and a member of staff will assist them in printing off a paper copy.

“Thank you to everyone for their continued efforts to recycle in Barnsley. Last year, you helped us to recycle 6,400 tonnes of blue bin recycling, this is the equivalent of 110 trees.

“Together, we can work to increase this figure and make our borough cleaner, greener, and more sustainable.”
