Never miss a South Ribble bin day again

South Ribble Borough Council covers Leyland, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge and the villages south of Preston, sharing its waste service with Chorley. It runs a four-container service — grey, blue, green box and brown — with a weekly food waste collection launched in April 2026.

How South Ribble bin collections work

South Ribble splits recycling between a blue bin and a green box, with a new weekly food caddy and a paid brown garden bin. It's a lot to track. 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.

Common questions

When are bins collected in South Ribble?

South Ribble collects the grey general-waste bin on alternating fortnightly weeks with its recycling containers, and a weekly food waste caddy launched on 13 April 2026. The blue bin takes plastics, cans and glass; the green box takes paper and card. Garden waste is a paid subscription collected fortnightly from a brown bin. Lancashire County Council handles disposal.

How much does this cost?

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.

Do you handle bank holidays?

Yes. We track South Ribble's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.

Is this an official South Ribble council service?

No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with South Ribble or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
