Rubbish, waste and recycling

About Our Service

Rossendale Borough Council currently operates a refuse and recycling collection service working on a 4 day week (Tuesday - Friday). The Council operates an alternate weekly collection of refuse and dry recyclables. The majority of households have a wheeled bin for domestic refuse ("green bin") and a wheeled bin for dry recyclables ("blue bin" for tins, glass and plastic). Paper is collected in a separate container. Get more information about the different types of bins currently in use.

You can find out which day your bin is collected on by using our about your area tool.
