New Recycling Arrangements

Cheshire West and Chester Council is shortly rolling out the new recycling arrangements for household waste. In addition to the new arrangements for garden waste which have been communicated separately, the attached documentation and links detail the planned rollout of new recycling bins and the changes in what goes in each bin.

Some residents in the area will be receiving new bins over the next few weeks. Those residents will receive a leaflet 2 weeks before the bins arrive. Some residents are not yet due to change. If you do not receive a leaflet and some of your neighbours and friends do it means that you will be changed later on in the changeover schedule. All properties will be changed over by the end of the year.

This link takes you to the website:

The attached documents give the detail of the new waste and recycling plan.
