Who collects what in Cheshire East

Cheshire East Council is a unitary council, so it handles both bin collections and the household waste recycling centres (the tips). One website covers your bin day, missed bins, garden waste, bulky waste and tip bookings.

Bank holidays and Cheshire East bin days

When a bank holiday lands on or before your collection day, Cheshire East may collect as normal or move collections later in the week. These are the next bank holidays in England and Wales:

Christmas and New Year cause the biggest changes. See Christmas bin collections for what usually happens.

Recycling rules in England

Under Simpler Recycling, councils in England must collect the same core recycling from every home: paper and card, glass, metal, plastic (including cartons), food waste every week, and garden waste for households that ask and pay any charge. The rules applied from 31 March 2026, with plastic film and bags joining the plastic stream from 31 March 2027. Councils still choose their own bins, colours and rotas.
