Christmas and New Year refuse collection

General waste and recycling collection services will continue in Macclesfield throughout the Christmas and new year period.

However, there will be no garden waste collections from Wednesday, December 22 to Monday, January 3 and collections will resume as normal on Tuesday January 4.

The changes will only affect those households that have their household waste or recycling collections on a Monday or a Tuesday. 

Cheshire East Council’s environmental services company, Ansa, will be placing information stickers on black bins of those households whose normal collections fall on the bank holidays.

The changes are as follows: 

• If your black bin was due for collection on Monday 27 December, it will now be collected on Thursday 23 December
• If your silver bin was due for collection on Monday 27 December, it will now be collected on Wednesday 22 December
• If your black bin was due for collection on Tuesday 28 December, it will now be collected on Wednesday 29 December
• If your silver bin was due for collection on Tuesday 28 December, it will now be collected on Friday 24 December
• If your black bin was due for collection on Monday 3 January, it will now be collected on Friday 31 December
• If your silver bin was due for collection on Monday 3 January, it will now be collected on Thursday 30 December.
