Waste bins and collections to change

/ General / By

June 2025. At its meeting on Tuesday 20th May, Lancaster City Council approved:

  • The introduction of weekly food waste collections for all households. Each household will receive a seven litre kitchen caddy and 23 litre kerbside caddy with a lockable handle.
  • Replacing current recycling boxes with 240-litre wheelie bins
  • Moving to three-weekly collections for both recycling and general waste (grey bins)

The changes will be implemented from early 2026. Click here for details.
