Dear Resident,
INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR GARDEN WASTE COLLECTIONS 2026
The last collections for this subscription year will take place between Monday 30 November and Friday 11 December.
Please check your calendar for your final collection day: Collection day | Cheshire West and Chester Council.
Once collected by our crews, your garden waste is taken to a local open-air composting facility where it is turned into compost through a natural aerobic process. This process relies on oxygen, so the material is regularly turned to help it break down efficiently over time.
To support this process, it is helpful to present all garden waste on your final collection day. Garden waste that remains in a bin for an extended period before collection may begin to decompose without sufficient oxygen, which can make the composting process less effective and take longer to complete once it reaches the facility.
If you produce garden waste during winter, you can take it to your local household waste recycling centre (HWRC) for composting. Please remember all households must be registered to access the HWRC sites. This is quick and easy, please follow this link Introducing a new registration system | Cheshire West and Chester Council
Alternatively, you can pile it up in a sheltered place in your garden, and then place it into your garden waste bin once the 2027 service starts again, taking care to check for wildlife that may have moved in to escape the colder winter months.
We will send you another email in December to let you know how to renew your garden waste subscription for 2027. The service starts again on 8 March 2027.
Don’t forget to recycle your food waste using the Council’s convenient weekly collection service. We only accept food waste when placed in the brown food bin. It must not be placed in the garden bin, or general rubbish bin. Food waste is collected every week on the same day as your other containers.
