Liverpool Bin Collection – Bin Days, Colours & How It Works
Liverpool bin collection operates on a weekly schedule, with different bins collected on alternate weeks depending on your address. Most households in Liverpool are provided with a purple bin for general waste, a blue bin for recycling, a food caddy for food waste, and in some cases a green bin for garden waste.
Because the collection day usually stays the same but the bin colour changes week to week, many residents are unsure which bin to put out each week — especially around bank holidays.
Bin collection days in Liverpool
Bin collection days in Liverpool typically run Monday to Friday, with each street assigned a fixed collection day. While your collection day normally doesn’t change, the bin collected alternates weekly, which is where confusion often happens.
The purple bin and blue bin are collected on alternate weeks, meaning each main bin is emptied fortnightly. If the wrong bin is put out, it may not be collected — leaving you waiting another two weeks.
Purple and blue bin collections
Purple bin – general household waste
Blue bin – recycling
These bins alternate every week. One week it will be the purple bin, the next week the blue bin, and this cycle continues throughout the year.
Because the bin colour changes weekly — not the collection day — many Liverpool residents search for which bin is being collected this week.
Food caddy and green bin collections
Food caddies are collected every week, regardless of whether the purple or blue bin is due. This helps reduce food waste and prevents smells building up.
Green bins are part of Liverpool’s paid garden waste service. Green bin collections usually run from late February until late November and are collected fortnightly. Residents must opt in and pay an annual fee, and collections pause over winter.
Bank holiday bin collections in Liverpool
Bank holidays can affect Liverpool bin collection dates. In most cases, if a collection falls on a bank holiday Monday, collections move back by one day, with crews often working the following Saturday.
Over Christmas and New Year, multiple bank holidays can cause longer delays and temporary schedule changes. Because of this, many residents find it difficult to keep track of which bin to put out each week, particularly around bank holidays.
To avoid missing bin day, many Liverpool residents use free email reminders sent the night before collection.
