We have recently received an email from the Council advising that they will be commencing the removal of some of the existing communal bins starting on 10 March. This work is required due to the current bins being obsolete. This is intended to be only a temporary measure until a permanent solution is agreed for the affected streets. It is also stated that the new smaller bins will be emptied daily.
The following is an extract from that email.
We write with a reminder about a piece of work starting next week which will see the remaining 237 large, side-loading bins removed from the City Centre, West End and parts of Stockbridge. Around 1,250 of these bins have been removed from streets across the city as the Communal Bin Review has introduced bin hubs.
The attached Phase 6 briefing (PDF) contains a list of all streets with these bins on Page 19. The removal of these bins is expected to take around 2-3 weeks and there will likely be increased contact, given that the works are taking place during the ongoing consultation for CBR Phase 6.
Key messages

The City of Edinburgh Council is currently undertaking a consultation exercise as part of their plans to introduce new waste and recycling arrangements within the New Town and some adjacent areas. This is described as being Phase 6 of the Communal Bin Review that started in 2021.
As part of their communications, the Council has written to all residents on the streets included in the current Phase. They have also held three drop-in sessions to allow residents to ask questions about the new arrangements. There is another drop in session underway this afternoon at Palmerston Place Church and two further ones planned at Stockbridge Library and The Dean Church on 7 and 10 March, respectively.
Further information about the consultation can be found in the attached email. You can also find more information on the Council’s website.
We will be discussing this topic at our next monthly meeting on Monday 10 March which will be held online using Zoom. The agenda and link to the Zoom meeting can be found on our website.
