Bin collection days

Your bin collection day stays the same each week. Most homes have 3 bins:

• a recycling bin
• a garden bin
• a non-recyclable (black) bin

Recycling and garden bins are collected one week. Your black bin is collected the following week, on a 2-week cycle.

Garden bins are only collected if you subscribe to the garden waste recycling scheme.

Putting your bins out for collection

Put your bins at the edge of your property by 6:30am on your collection day.

Return them to your property as soon as possible after they have been emptied.

Missed collections

If your bin is not collected, check what to do and report a missed collection.

In bad weather, it may not be possible for crews to empty your bin.

Bank holidays

Bin collections usually take place as normal on bank holidays.

Collections do not take place on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day. Updated information will be shown on the collection calendar before these dates.

Bin collection points

If you live in Crewe and we cannot collect your bin from your property, you may need to take it to a collection point.

Waste that does not fit in your bin

We do not collect extra waste or recycling left beside your bin.

If your waste does not fit, you can:

• keep it until your next collection
• take it to a household waste and recycling centre
• arrange a bulky item collection
