We are sorry but some of our online bin forms are not working including order a replacement bin and order a new bin. We are currently investigating the issue.


Unless your order is urgent, we recommend you wait until we have fixed the issue. We'll remove this banner when the issue is resolved.

 

If your order is urgent, please WhatsApp us 01543 308171 with your request, including your address details.

 

You can still subscribe for garden waste - this form is working. 

We're writing to just under 2,000 residents across the district this week to let them know their bin day or week will be changing from this week onwards. If you receive a letter it will explain exactly what’s happening and what you need to do.

 

These changes will help us rebalance collection rounds, plan for future housing growth, and prepare for the Government’s forthcoming food waste collection scheme. If you have any questions, please WhatsApp our team on 01543 308171 or email waste.strategy@lichfielddc.gov.uk.

 

We're so grateful to you for your support and understanding which helps us to continue to deliver a reliable and sustainable waste service to local homes.

Street trading and special events

If you would like to trade from a stall or mobile unit on a street/layby (either an occasional or long-term pitch - for example an ice cream or burger van) you will need to apply for a general trader street trading licence.

If you are a street-based event organiser and want to run an event on district streets, find out about how to apply for special event street trading. 

If you want to hold a private community based street party or fete, find out more.
