On Monday this week the Twitter sphere and some local press were alive with rumours and misleading reports about Leeds bin collection.
Many people seem to have misread the Council’s proposals here – and jumped to a whole series of conclusions
-that Leeds is proposing that in future there will be no free wheelie bins provided
– that people will be charged for their wheelie bins.
-that heavy bins won’t be emptied
-that if rounds are not completed for any reason, the refuse-collectors will not return to pick them up.
Leeds City Council have issued the following clarification.
‘The council will continue to replace damaged or broken bins and provide bins to new properties free of charge.
Residents already have one bin provided for each of the services they receive. If a resident requests an additional green or black bin, this will only be provided if residents meet certain criteria, for example, if they are a large family.
It would undermine everyone’s efforts to reduce waste and recycle more if the council were to simply deliver extra bins on demand.
The council’s executive board have been asked to formalise these existing practices in a set of policies when they meet on Wednesday 22 January.
The policies complement one another so residents understand how the council collects their rubbish and recycling and what they need to do too.
Councillor Mark Dobson, executive member for the environment, said:
“We collect around two million bins a month and it is one of the most visible services we provide, so we need to be very clear on how these services are run and any changes we’re going to introduce.

Leeds’s housing boss is launching a ‘Brownfield First’ campaign to urge developers to look to the inner cities first when building much-needed new homes, and to return decision-making powers on planning to local level.
Coun Peter Gruen is lobbying the Secretary of State for changes in planning laws which would revert to a “sequential” approach to development, meaning brownfield land – previously developed sites – is prioritised for development over greenfield land and is therefore released earlier and easier. He also wants more power returned to Town Hall decision-makers and to scrap the automatic right of appeal to planning inspectors.
The YEP has reported previously that the city owns 140 brownfield sites, covering 150 hectares of potential development land. Leeds needs to build 70,000 new homes by 2028 to meet escalating housing needs. Some of the 29 sites recently targeted by the council in a new drive have been dormant since the 1980s and 1990s.
