Major bin collection changes to every Lancashire home as new rules announced

Major changes are coming to bin collections across Lancashire and the rest of England following new rules announced by the government.

Ms Coffey said: "Simpler recycling will help us all recycle more easily, doing our bit to help save the planet and make the best use of precious resources that we use every day. Alongside weekly food waste collections, we are ending the postcode lottery of what you can put in your bin so that wherever you live in the country, you will be able to recycle the same products with confidence.

The DCN also warned that many councils will be unable to procure the correct equipment in time to meet the 2026 deadline while many cannot afford the cost of new bins, vehicle fleets or in some cases larger depots. The Government said it will provide “reasonable funding” to cover any extra costs from the changes, with money coming from a combination of new burdens funding and payments through Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging. Current recycling rates in England are just over 44% and have remained around this figure for the last 10 years.
