During the Christmas period, the garden waste service is suspended for a further three weeks until Monday 1 March 2021.
The resources for the garden waste collections will be utilised to assist both recycling and domestic collections during this time.
Reasons for the extended suspension
The extended suspension provides Cheshire West Recycling with greater flexibility, to make sure that core waste and recycling collections can be maintained for our residents whilst mitigating the impact of increased sickness levels in these unprecedented times.
Cheshire West and Chester Council would like to hear your views on our proposed waste strategy, which will shape how the Council delivers waste services over the next 10 years
