Bins, waste and recycling

Collections during week commencing 10 August 2026

Bin collections update - please put your bins out for collection by 5am on your collection day during week commencing 10 August 2026.

Due to the high temperatures forecast for Cheshire East this week, bin collection rounds will start earlier than normal again this week to help ensure we can complete as many collections as possible.

We are doing all we can to return to missed bin collections within 5 working days, but we cannot guarantee this.

If we cannot return before your next scheduled collection day, you can leave up to 3 standard-sized waste bags next to your black household waste bin or silver recycling bin. Our crews will collect them.

Weekly food collections and 3 weekly black bin collections start in Autumn 2026. This may change your collection day. Find out more about changes to waste and recycling collections.
