Bins and Recycling
Our waste services are jointly operated with Lichfield District Council.
Find out when your bins will be emptied using the online bin calendar (on our partner's Lichfield District Council website).
MISSED BINS
Due to operational issues, if your bin has been missed recently, we may not be able to return.
If you are affected, please call us on 0345 0020022 or email: waste.strategy@lichfielddc.gov.uk and we will make arrangements to collect any excess waste with your bin on your next collection date.
Thank you for your patience.
Bins and recycling - Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Please do not add extra side waste with your black bins. We will not be able to collect it. You can add folded up cardboard that won't fit in your bin on your blue bin collection day. Helping our waste and recycling teamsTo help protect our waste and recycling teams as they empty bins across the district, please follow this advice: If you have COVID-19 symptoms or you have a confirmed case in your household, please dispose of your personal waste, such as tissues and disposable cleaning cloths, securely within a plastic bag that is tied up. With clean hands, place the bag into another plastic bag, tie it securely and kept it separate from other waste. After setting aside for 72 hours, place the bag in your black bin. Other household waste can be disposed of as normal. If you live in a building with communal waste areas, please store the personal waste bin bags as above for at least 72 hours before putting them in the communal bins. Wash your bin handlesAs an extra precaution, we are asking our residents to clean their bin handles before and after emptying. This will help to protect you and and our waste and recycling teams. Thank you for your support |
Please make sure your bins are presented at the edge of your property, next to the adopted highway by 6.00am on the day of collection.
Report a damaged or lost bin here. Please note there is now a £20.50 charge to replace lost or stolen black refuse bins only.
