Cheshire East uses a distinctive silver bin for recycling — easy to spot — alongside a black bin for rubbish and a green bin for garden waste. Rubbish and recycling alternate week about, and a weekly food waste service is arriving in autumn 2026.
Cheshire East Council collects the black bin (general household waste) and the silver bin (mixed dry recycling — paper, card, cartons, glass bottles and jars, plastic containers, tins, cans, clean foil and empty aerosols) on alternating fortnightly weeks. Garden waste goes in a green bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. From autumn 2026 the council is introducing weekly food waste collections and moving black bins to a three-weekly cycle. Present all bins at the edge of your property by 6:30am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Cheshire East. You can also check the council's own page at cheshireeast.gov.uk.
Cheshire East collects the black (general waste) and silver (mixed recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, with a paid green garden bin. A weekly food waste service and three-weekly black bins start in autumn 2026. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you never mix up black week with silver week.
My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.

No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with Cheshire East or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
