Your bin collection
Overview
Adverse weather conditions
Tuesday 19 November 2024 - snow and icy conditions
Waste and Recycling collection service is being affected by adverse weather conditions. Whilst the vast majority of the major roads remain accessible, road and footway conditions, on minor roads, housing estates and in rural areas are becoming poor and are making it difficult for large HGV collection vehicles and their crews to operate safely.
Conditions will be continually assessed on an hourly basis and where necessary adjustments made to collection schedules. Whilst every effort is being made to access those properties scheduled for collection today, the safety of collection teams and the wider public is paramount.
Residents are advised to:
• Continue to place your wheel bins/boxes/bags out on your scheduled day as per your collection calendar.
• If your road/street/property is not collected on your scheduled collection day, then Please leave your containers out. Every effort will be made to return and collect at the earliest opportunity.
Cheshire West Recycling provide over 440,000 refuse, recycling, food and garden waste collections each week, across Cheshire West and Chester, visiting around 160,000 households.

Bin collections
Please make sure your bins are put out before 7am on the day of collection.
There are fortnightly collections of your black bin for domestic non-recyclable waste. This is collected on the alternate week to your blue lidded bin for paper, card and cartons, and a red lidded bin for the rest of your recycling. There is also a brown food bin for weekly food waste collections.
The recycling wheeled bin service is:
- Clean: secure recycling bins reduce the risk of waste escaping both before and during collections.
- Easy: recycling is easy - there is a blue lidded bin for paper, card and cartons and a red lidded bin for the rest of your recycling.
- Green: 40 per cent more space to recycle using bigger containers that can be collected in fewer, more energy efficient vehicles than before, reducing the carbon footprint of the service.
