Lichfield District Council covers Lichfield, Burntwood and the surrounding Staffordshire villages, and also collects bins in Tamworth. It runs a twin-stream recycling service — a blue bin for containers and a blue bag (or purple bin in rural areas) for paper and card — alongside fortnightly refuse and a weekly food caddy.
Lichfield splits recycling between a blue bin and a blue bag, with rural homes using a purple bin instead — plus a weekly food caddy and a paid brown garden bin. It's easy to muddle. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Lichfield. You can also check the council's own page at lichfielddc.gov.uk.
Lichfield collects the black general-waste bin and its recycling containers on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a weekly food waste caddy. The blue bin takes glass, cans and plastics; the blue bag (or a purple bin in rural areas) takes paper and card. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £42 a year) collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Staffordshire County Council handles disposal.
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.
Yes. We track Lichfield's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.
No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with Lichfield or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
