Recycling and Waste Disposal
Cheshire East are dedicated to increasing the amount of waste
recycled and reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill.
Although we collect an extensive range of recyclable items from
your home, you can also recycle items through the many Recycling Centres or Household Waste Recycling Centres throughout
Cheshire East. Dedicated charity banks for textiles, books and
shoes, which you are unable to recycle in the silver bin, are at
many of these sites. So, please visit the Recycling Centres page to find your nearest
centre and check what you can recycle.
If you have large items you no longer require, we offer a
chargeable bulky collections service based on the number and size
of the items to be collected. For more information on this service
please visit the bulky collections
page.
The council does not provide a commercial waste collection
service for businesses. If you are a business, your local business
listings will provide you with useful contacts and also there are
several websites that may be of use. Check the business waste collections information page for
more details.
There are two landfill sites in Cheshire East where all
non-recyclables household waste is taken. For more information on
Landfill Sites, Waste Licensing,
Commercial and Industrial Waste and Hazardous Waste, please visit
the Landfill Disposal page.
Fly-tipping can look very unsightly and is an offence. Please
help us by reporting any dumped commercial or household waste and
we will investigate this crime. For more information and to report
fly-tipping please visit the fly-tipping
page.
Why Recycle? The Possibilities are Endless!
Recycling your waste enables the materials to be used over and
over again, reducing the need to use virgin raw materials such as
metals and oil. This protects the natural environment and improves
the landscape as it reduces the need for quarrying, mining and
logging, as well as reducing the need for landfills. Ever wondered
where your recycling goes? Your recycled envelope could become part
of your latest book, your glass bottles could be recycled and
contain the cooking sauce you use in tonight's meal. Find out more
about Where Does Your Recycling Go?
There are a number of Recycling Bank
sites in the Cheshire East area. Why not find the ones
that are nearest to where you live or work?
