Fylde empties the blue bin or green box, the brown bin or blue bag, and the optional green garden bin one week, and the grey bin the next. Containers go out by 7.00am. Food waste is listed in the grey bin, not in a separate caddy. The green bin is chargeable, and the which-bin page does not state the price.
Last checked against 2 sources (new.fylde.gov.uk).
Fylde does not collect food waste every week. The which-bin page lists food waste as something to put in the grey bin. It does not describe a separate food caddy or a weekly food round. Household batteries go in a clear bag on top of the blue or brown bin, not in the grey bin.
Garden waste is a paid-for service. The which-bin page calls the green bin an optional chargeable service. It does not state the price. You have to sign up to be collected. The blue, brown and green bins are emptied one week and the grey bin the next, so the green bin is on the recycling week. Items go in loose. A bin that is too heavy or compacted is not emptied. Excess beside the blue, brown or green bin is not collected. Garden waste can also be composted at home, or taken to the household waste recycling centre on Saltcotes Road, Lytham.
Fylde's waste portal says a free account can be used to report missed collections and lost or damaged bins, and to track those reports. Previous green waste logins no longer work, and the account has to be registered again. The portal does not say how many days you have to report a missed bin. If you need help with the account, email listening@fylde.gov.uk or call 01253 658658. Phone and in-person help remain available at the customer service centre.
A bin that is too heavy or whose contents are compacted is not emptied. Extra bags beside the grey bin are not collected. Extra waste beside the blue, brown or green bins is not collected either. Items in the blue, brown and green containers go in loose. Excess can go to the household waste recycling centre at Saltcotes Road, Lytham. Extra recycling bins can be ordered from the council.
The blue bin or green box takes plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, plant pots, glass bottles and jars, aerosols, foil, cans, tins, toothpaste tubes and cartons. Carrier bags, film, polystyrene, food, nappies, paper, cardboard, crockery and Pyrex stay out. Rinse items before they go in.
The brown bin or blue bag takes cardboard, newspapers, shredded paper, envelopes, junk mail, catalogues and wrapping paper without foil. Cartons, glass, cans and plastic bottles belong in the blue bin or green box. Wallpaper is refused.
Household batteries go in the clear bag provided, or a clear sandwich bag, on top of the blue or brown bin. Car, motorbike and industrial batteries are refused. The which-bin page lists 6v, D, C, AA, AAA, 9v, button, laptop, vape and mobile phone batteries as accepted in that bag.
The green bin takes grass, hedge trimmings, leaves, flowers, weeds with soil removed, prunings, bark, twigs, small branches, chopped real Christmas trees and straw bedding. Soil, food, oils, plant pots, large wood, cardboard, cat litter, dog faeces and artificial trees stay out.
The waste portal is a new account. Old green waste logins do not work. One account can hold up to three properties. Collection days, missed bins, garden subscriptions and assisted collections are on that account. Help is listening@fylde.gov.uk or 01253 658658.
