St Pierre du Bois bin collection days

St Pierre du Bois, in the south-west of Guernsey, collects everything on a Tuesday or Wednesday night. Which bags go out follows the island’s two-week cycle: in a clear bag week you also put out food waste and the stickered black bag, and in a blue bag week food waste and glass. Orange stickers are for 50 litre bags and green stickers for 90 litre bags.

Check your bin day

Use St Pierre du Bois’s own page for your bin day

Guernsey collection nights come from the States of Guernsey’s My Bin Night address search, which runs in the browser and is not something BinWeek’s lookup service can query, so the page links to it and to the parish and lets you set your own bin night.
