What time are bin men allowed to start collecting rubbish? According to the waste management experts over at Wheelie Bin Solutions, bin men can begin making noise with their collections at different times depending on where they are. Those looking to ensure they are up to scratch on the timings and rules around bin collections in their area should visit their local authority's website. Dates and the way bin collections work across England, Scotland and Wales differ wildly as these are run at the local level. Bin men are allowed to begin collections at 5am in city centres and after 6:30am outside of town.
