- We provide household waste and recycling collections to all homes across Lichfield District and Tamworth Borough.
- Blue bin for glass, cans and plastics. If you live in a rural area you may have a *purple bin instead of a blue bag - if you do we will empty your blue bin one fortnight and your purple bin the following fortnight.
- Blue bag* for paper and card.
- Black bin for household waste that can't be recycled.
- Food waste caddies (this includes a small kitchen caddy, larger outdoor caddy and a pack of caddy liners) for weekly food waste collections.
Please make sure your bins / bag and caddy are out by 6am by the kerbside (at your usual collection point) on the day of your collection.
