From April 2026 the government is introducing Simpler Recycling, a UK wide initiative to make recycling services more consistent across the country, including weekly food waste collections. Simpler Recycling is designed to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill or incineration. The government has set a national recycling target of 65% that local authorities must meet by 2035.
In Blackpool, the council will also be making local changes to waste and recycling. This includes new and larger bins, moving to a three-weekly bin collection cycle alongside the new weekly food waste collections and more.
We understand that change is not always easy and we are doing everything we can to help residents prepare.
Below is a breakdown of the key information for residents:
