New waste-bin collection dates

Cheshire East Council have revised their recycling and waste collection schedules – starting from 4 November. 

Residents will start to receive their collection schedule calendars on 21 October.  

The calendars detail a new collection schedule and the new time of 6.30am to have bins ready for collection. 

Most residents will be affected by the upcoming changes – however a few may find their collection days remain the same.  

A new food waste recycling service will be introduced in January.

The new collection calendar details key dates for residents to be aware of, these are:

• 4 November – changes to recycling and waste collections will take effect and bins need to be at their collection point from 6.30am;
• 23 December to 3 January – garden waste bin winter collections will only stop collecting between these dates; 
• If your recycling or waste bin is due to be emptied on the Christmas and New Year bank holidays your collection days will change. 

Councillor Brian Roberts, Cheshire East Council cabinet member for highways and waste, said: “The council is committed to improving the recycling and waste collection service for residents. These changes will allow our vehicle rounds to make our bin collections more efficient and prepare us for the new food waste service, which is being introduced in January.”  

Residents are reminded that they may be asked to place their bins out on new days from 6.30am and are encouraged to keep their new calendars safe, to remember the new dates for waste and recycling collections.
