Residents in Basingstoke should continue to follow their usual rubbish and recycling collection routine this coming Bank Holiday Monday, 25 May 2026. The Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council has confirmed that there will be no changes to the service and crews will be operating as normal.
To ensure items are collected, residents are advised to place their bins out for collection by 6am on their regular day. The council’s waste collection contractor, Serco, will be managing the rounds throughout the bank holiday, a practice that has continued since the company began their contract in 2018.
While collection services remain active, the council offices at the Civic Offices on London Road will be closed over the bank holiday weekend. They will reopen to the public on Tuesday, 26 May 2026.
Those who are unsure of their specific collection day can verify the details on the council website at basingstoke.gov.uk/bincollections.
