Communal bin review

Completed phases and bin hub location plans

We started introducing bin hubs across the city in a phased approach from November 2021. We have worked in partnership with colleagues and stakeholders to ensure we are making these changes effectively and efficiently. By November 2025, we had completed the installation of over 1,400 bin hubs within phases 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and A and implemented increased collection frequencies. More information for each phase is provided below the map. You can click on your area for more details or type your street in the search bar in the top right corner.

  • phase 1: Leith and surrounding areas
  • phase 2: Gorgie, Roseburn and Corstorphine
  • phase 3: Inverleith, Hillside, Broughton and Marchmont
  • phase 4: Southside, Newington, Prestonfield and some parts of Stockbridge and Canonmills
  • phase 5: Old Town and George Street corridor
  • phase A: Portobello, Newhaven, Trinity, Forth, Granton, Spylaw, Oxgangs, Peffer and Firrhill

A small number of locations in phase 5 and other areas are still to have their bin hubs installed and more information about these works is available on the ‘Recent works’ section.
