Local bins and recycling news

AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.

Cheshire East plans weekly food-waste collections from late autumn 2026, alongside a move to three-weekly black-bin collections. Recycling and subscribed garden-waste collections would remain fortnightly. Homes using black sacks because of limited space would keep fortnightly rubbish collections. The council says food collections should free space in black bins and help manage rising service costs. New collection days are due to be published by mid-October. Separately, the council apologised in July for missed collections linked to staff shortages, vehicle breakdowns and hot weather. It said crews were working Saturdays and extra vehicles were being hired to tackle the backlog.
