Blackpool overhauled its collections in 2026: general waste, recycling and paper all moved to a three-weekly cycle, with a new weekly food caddy added. The grey bin is rubbish, blue is mixed recycling, and the brown bin now takes paper and card (replacing the old brown bags).
Blackpool Council collects the grey bin (household non-recyclable waste), the blue bin (recyclable plastic bottles, pots, tubs, trays, glass jars and bottles, and tins), and the brown bin (cardboard and paper) each once every three weeks. Food waste is collected weekly in a kerbside caddy, a service introduced in April 2026. Garden waste is a paid 'Green and Go' subscription (£30 a year). The three-weekly grey cycle is designed to encourage more recycling. Present all bins by 7am on collection day with the lids closed.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Blackpool. You can also check the council's own page at blackpool.gov.uk.
Blackpool collects the grey (general waste), blue (mixed recycling) and brown (paper and card) bins each once every three weeks, with a weekly food caddy and a paid green garden service. Note that Blackpool moved to a three-weekly cycle in 2026. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know which of the three-weekly bins is due.
My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.
