There's just two weeks left to have your say in a major public consultation on a new waste strategy for Lancashire, including the Lancaster district.
The Lancashire Waste Partnership has published its draft plan, ‘A Low Waste Lancashire 2026–2036’.
Whether you're a resident, student, business or landlord, Lancaster City Council want to hear from you about the proposals.
The strategy sets out the future direction for how waste and recycling will be collected, managed and disposed of across Lancashire over the next 10 years.
A spokesperson for Lancaster City Council said: ‘’We are keen to encourage as many residents as possible to take part and share their views on the draft strategy, including its vision, objectives and proposed actions.’’

Paper copies are also available at the town halls in Lancaster and Morecambe.
February saw the return of food waste recycling for the first time since a previous scheme was scrapped in 2016, and was the second of three phases of changes to waste collection across the Lancaster and Morecambe District, which got under way last year.
It began with the replacement of 55 litre recycling boxes with 240 litre wheelie bins for glass, plastic and tins; and cardboard and paper.
The third phase began in April 2026, when fortnightly collections of non-recyclable waste (grey bins); plastics, glass and cans; and paper and cardboard, changed to three-weekly collections.
