Wheelie bins have been introduced to the majority of homes in Tendring under changes to our waste contract.
The large 180 litre bins, supplied free, have replaced your black sacks and will be collected fortnightly. This will help reduce the amount of litter caused by bags being ripped open and promote recycling.
Recycling collections remain unchanged, with weekly food waste collections and alternate weekly collections of recyclables in the red and green boxes.
Bank Holiday collections from August 2019 will NO LONGER BE DELAYED BY A DAY, WITH COLLECTIONS TAKING PLACE ON THE BANK HOLIDAY.
Waste and recycling collections will only be delayed by Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year. Follow your collection calendar that was delivered with your wheelie bin.
Every property in the district has been assessed to see if it is suitable for a wheelie bin. A small number of homes which are unsuitable, such as those with no front or side access, continue to have a weekly black sack collection. Most flats will also see their waste collection unchanged.
