Early start for collections
Due to the high temperatures predicted for this week, we will begin collections at 6am instead of the normal 7am start time. This is to minimise the effect this weather could have on our collection crews. It will apply on Tuesday 23, Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 June 2026.
Order a new bin, box or sack
We are piloting a scheme which allows flats in Chelmsford to order a new food caddy container.
Once your caddy arrives, line it with a food waste bag and fill with unwanted food scraps, bones and peelings. Once it is full, place the food waste bag in the communal food waste bin in your flats block bin store.
Thank you for recycling your food waste and helping to create a more environmentally sustainable Chelmsford.
