If your bins are usually emptied on a Monday or Tuesday, please put them out as normal this week.

If your bins are usually emptied on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, please put them out a day later this week - so if your bins are usually emptied on a Wednesday, please put them out on Thursday, if they are usually emptied on a Thursday, please put them out on Friday, or if they are usually emptied on a Friday, please put them out on Saturday.

Find out about this week's (30 December - 4 January) festive bin arrangements.

We've had a number of reports from people whose bins were due to be emptied a day later last week. Unfortunately we are not able to return to empty these. We will however take extra recycling on your next normal collection day. Please put extra glass, cans and plastic in tied shopping bags or clear plastic bags. Please put extra cardboard tucked neatly next to your blue bin.

If you put your black bin out on your revised collection day and it was not emptied please accept our apologies and email enquiries@lichfielddc.gov.uk to let us know. Alternatively find out about local household recycling centre opening times.

Thank you,

The waste & recycling team
