Preston City Council collects bins across the Lancashire city. In 2025–26 it introduced a new collection schedule and a weekly food waste service, with recycling split into separate paper/card and glass/cans/plastic streams alongside fortnightly refuse.
Preston's new service splits recycling into separate streams, with a weekly food caddy and a paid brown garden bin on top. It's a lot to get used to. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right container goes out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime. This information was correct at the time of writing; the council has proposals to change its collection schedule currently under review, so your service may be updated in future.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Preston. You can also check the council's own page at preston.gov.uk.
Preston collects the grey general-waste bin fortnightly, with recycling split into paper and card (red-lidded container) and plastics, cans and glass (yellow-lidded container), plus a weekly food waste caddy introduced in 2025–26. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £40 a year) collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Lancashire 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.
