Completed phases and bin hub locations
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 completed the installation of over 1,400 bin hubs within phases 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and A and implemented increased collection frequencies:
- 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
