An update on weekly food waste collections from Cheshire East Council

New weekly food waste collections - an update

We know that residents have rightly been asking for an update on when new weekly food waste collections will start. Today, we can confirm that we're postponing the rollout of this new service so that we can focus on getting our waste and recycling services back on track and ensuring we can deliver reliable bin collections.

Councillor David Jefferay, our cabinet member for environment, sustainability and waste management, said: “Our residents rightly expect that their bins are collected on time, week in, week out. In recent months, the service they have received has fallen significantly short of that standard.

“We are sorry, and we know the service must improve. We have a detailed plan in place to get us there, and are continuing to make good progress.

“A significant amount of work has already taken place to get us ready for weekly food waste collections and, from an operational perspective, we have the crews, vehicles and infrastructure in place for this new service that would have allowed us to start in November.

“However, introducing the new food waste service now would place more pressure on our wider collection operation, and risk disrupting the work we’re doing to ensure reliable services.

“I am not prepared to jeopardise that progress and that is why I have made the decision to postpone the food waste rollout until early next year.

“I know that many residents were keen to start using this new service and ensure more of their waste can be recycled. I want to be clear that this is a postponement and not a cancellation, and that residents should hold onto their food waste caddies.”

The introduction of weekly food waste collections is required by Government under its Simpler Recycling legislation.

Further information about the new food waste service will be issued early in the new year.
