Please accept our apologies but we are facing a number of challenges with the collections and as such are focusing solely on scheduled collections at the moment.

Unfortunately this means we will be unable to return to any reports of missed collections except where the household is an assisted collection.

If your bin has been missed please email wastestrategy@lichfielddc.gov.uk and we will arrange to take excess waste next time.

We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience at this time.

Council tax discounts and exemptions

Second home discount

No discount is given if you have a second home (holiday home or other) and you will need to pay the full charge due.

However, if you are required to occupy either property as part of your employment contract you may be able to still claim up to a 50% reduction for your second home.

If you think you may be entitled to a second home discount, please fill in and submit a second home discount application form. Send your completed form to:

Revenues and benefits, Lichfield District Council, District Council House, Frog Lane, Lichfield, Staffs WS13 6YX.

If you have any questions, please contact our customer services team on 01543 308900, Monday - Friday, 9am - 5.15pm, or email revenues@lichfielddc.gov.uk.
