Cheshire East Council Launches Household Waste Consultation Seeking to reduce black bin collections

Simpler Recycling Scheme legislation announced by the Government in October 2023 means that all local authorities must collect food waste from their residents on a weekly basis by no later than 1 April 2026.
The council will consider a proposal to collect food waste alongside the fortnightly garden bin rounds, and then separately as a food waste round in the alternate weeks.
The council is also proposing to consult on plans to move to collecting black bins once every three weeks.

The consultation will run for 6 weeks, closing on Sunday 20th October
