Current Waste Management services in Cheshire West and Chester
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Household waste is currently collected by our Council owned company Cheshire West Recycling (or CWR)
All recycling, including food waste, is collected weekly. Black and green bins are collected every two weeks.
The kerbside service caters for residents in certain types of properties with space restrictions, such as flats or apartments.
This service currently costs the Council around £12.8 million each year.
There are seven recycling centres in Cheshire West, which are managed in partnership with HW Martin:
Three large sites in Chester, Ellesmere Port and Winsford are open seven days a week.
The four smaller sites in Frodsham, Neston, Northwich and Tattenhall are open five days a week.
Each site receives and recycles a wide range of materials from cans to TVs.
Chester, Ellesmere Port, Neston, Northwich and Winsford also have reuse shops. Residents can drop off unwanted items and pick up a bargain as well as contributing to our climate emergency by minimising waste.
This service costs the Council around £2.5 million each year
We offer a chargeable ‘bulky waste’ collection service to households for large items such as white goods and furniture. Collections can be arranged from your home for a small fee. All items are reused wherever possible.
Processing of non-recycled household waste is managed by a company called FCC Environment in Ellesmere Port. Any metals are extracted and sent for recycling then the rest of the waste is sent to an ‘energy from waste’ plant where it is turned into fuel to generate electricity. This process helps to ensure that we send minimal waste to landfill.
This service costs around £7.1 million per annum. However, this figure often rises each year due to an annual increase in the number of homes in Cheshire West and Chester and an increasing amount of overall waste being produced by us all. Unless waste is reduced or recycled these processing costs will continue to rise.
In order to reduce the overall waste generated in Cheshire West and Chester and to encourage recycling of waste that is produced we deliver a range of education and awareness activities. We work with schools, community groups and individuals to deliver behavioural change campaigns throughout the borough.
