Fylde bin collections

By Mark Andrews. Checked against Fylde Council pages on 29 October 2026.

Inside your home is fine for Fylde bulky waste collections: crews will take items from inside the property, Monday to Saturday, working with Furniture Matters. Food scraps go in the grey bin, since there's no separate food collection. Garden waste is £39 a bin for 25 collections, with no reduced rate for joining late.

Which bin is which in Fylde

Plastics and glass go in the blue bin, paper and cardboard in the brown. Containers need to be at the edge of your property by 7am.

Garden waste: £39 a year

£39 per bin for 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, which gets you 25 collections with a two-week break over Christmas and New Year. There's no reduced rate if you join part-way through, and a replacement sticker costs £7.50. Real Christmas trees can go in, chopped up. Artificial ones can't.
