Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Hyndburn’s council leader reported in September 2026 that residents had recycled 595 tonnes of food waste between April and July. He thanked households using the weekly service and encouraged wider participation. Separately, a July report described repeated missed collections where parked cars blocked access to rear alleys in Oswaldtwistle, Spring Hill and west Accrington. The council appealed for clearer access and said it was working with county officials and police on longer-term solutions. Options included enforcement at persistent trouble spots or moving collection points away from obstructed alleys.
