The vice-chairman of Cheshire East’s environment and communities committee has quit because she is opposed to the council’s plans to introduce three-weekly black bin collections.
Crewe Labour councillor Dawn Clark is now planning to campaign against her own administration’s plans to empty the household waste bins just once every three weeks.
Subscriptions to renew or sign up for the first time to Cheshire East Council’s Garden Waste Recycling Scheme have opened today.
Residents will need to opt-in to the scheme to use their garden bin to recycle green waste and will pay an annual subscription fee for their bin to be collected.
Residents are being urged to have their say on plans for weekly food waste collections across Cheshire East – and to reduce black bin collections to every three weeks.
The collections are part of the “Simpler Recycling Scheme” legislation announced by the Government in October 2023.

Cheshire East Council should suspend proposed parking and green bin charges until it knows how it will be financially compensated for the scrapping of HS2, a councillor said.
Cllr Reg Kain (Lib Dem) said if the council had committed £11m to HS2, of which £8m had already been spent, then the additional £3m would be returned to the council budget.

Cheshire East Council has come under fire from residents for increasing council tax by the maximum permitted while cutting back on services at the same time.

Some councils require items to be separated across multiple boxes and the correct one to be carried to the roadside on a six-week rotating cycle.
Bosses at Cheshire East Council have refused a request to revisit the controversial Green Waste Charges set to be brought in from January, say Conservative councillors.

It’s thought yobs deliberately started two bin fires within minutes of each other in Nantwich town centre.
Fire crews were called out at 1.15am yesterday (August 6) to the first fire on Pall Mall in Nantwich.
Fire crews tackled two fires in bins within an hour of each other overnight, one inside the grounds of a Nantwich primary school.
It’s not confirmed whether the two incidents in early hours of Saturday are linked.
Dear Editor,
Last week, Cheshire East’s Waste Collection Service, ANSA announced the difficulties they were experiencing in maintaining bin collections due to Covid-related staff sickness and staff shortages – a situation repeated across the country.
This week, I received a positive CPR test and am self-isolating.
