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.
Incontinence waste collections
We provide a free incontinence waste collection service for residential properties in the Chelmsford area.
We provide a yellow-topped bin for incontinence waste, such as incontinence pads.
Nappies are not incontinence waste and you can dispose of nappies in your black non-recyclables bin. You can check what goes in which bin.
If you need to dispose of clinical waste, you can request a clinical waste collection.
If you already receive an assisted collection, you will automatically receive an assisted collection for the incontinence waste.
If we have missed your collection, you can report a missed collection online.
