This means that all households in the county can expect their bins to be collected on the usual dates and at the usual times.
Pembrokeshire County Council said: "We are committed to reducing our paper use, which means households can now view their kerbside calendar online."
The council also offers an online facility where residents can view their kerbside collection calendar and details of their next collection day.
To do this, residents need to enter their postcode in the 'Search for your bin day' box on the council's website and then select their address.
This will bring up details of the next waste and recycling collections.
The kerbside sort recycling collection service collects a wide range of recycling at the kerbside including paper, card, cans, tins and clean foil, plastic pots, tubs and trays, Tetra Pak, food and beverage cartons, glass bottles and jars, food waste and household batteries.
This initiative aims to increase recycling across the county and reduce the amount of waste placed in non-recyclable grey/black waste bags.
The council estimates that about 75 per cent of all household waste is collected on a weekly or fortnightly basis from people's homes.
This includes recyclables, green waste and absorbent hygiene products.
Residual household waste, which cannot be recycled or composted, is collected in black bags or the grey bags previously supplied by the council.
However, the council no longer supplies grey bags to residents, so once the current supply has been used up, residents will need to purchase their own black bags.
Residents can put out up to three bags of residual waste every three weeks, so it is important to recycle.
To ensure bags are collected, residents are advised to put their bags out by 6.30am on collection day, but not too early.
They are also advised to cover their bags to prevent attacks by birds and animals.
The council has also issued a list of items that should not be put in black bags.
These include sharp objects, batteries, vapes, small waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), garden waste and clinical waste.
These items can pose a risk to the collection crew or are a potential fire risk.
Standard domestic batteries and vapes can be recycled by placing them in a separate clear plastic bag with recycling containers.
The council hopes that by adhering to these guidelines, residents can help ensure the safety of the collection crews and contribute to the county's recycling efforts.
