Everything you need to know about Stoke-on-Trent's new weekly bin collectionIt launches in 2026View Image Stoke-on-Trent City Council refuse collectors emptying blue binsA new weekly bin collection service is set to launch in Stoke-on-Trent in 2026. The food waste recycling service collection starts on Monday 30 March, with the city council urging households to register their interest. Food waste is collected weekly so is emptied more frequently than your household waste bin, therefore maggots, flies and smells are less likely. If you can’t use the food waste service for some reason, you can still put food waste into your household rubbish bin, but this food waste will not be recycled. We want to make clear what the right way is to get food waste collected, and encourage you to use our food waste recycling service.
