Black general waste bin.
Cleaned every 4 weeks, on your bin day
For Colchester City Council collections
Colchester’s new wheelie bins only go out every two weeks, so they soon start to smell. We clean them on your bin day, after the council has emptied them, and you don’t need to be in.

Your Colchester bins
Here are the bins Colchester households use. The council is delivering the new ones in stages until March 2027, so if you are still waiting for yours, just tell us.


Illustrations only. Your own bins may look slightly different.
Start with your bins
Our plans group the bins together, so you can compare the service that fits your household. The monthly payment spreads the scheduled cleaning cost over the year.
Extra bins: each extra bin of a type your plan already includes is added to your monthly payment: black bin £7, recycling bin £7, garden waste bin £7 and food caddy £3 a month. A glass box is £3 a month; it is not included in any plan and is cleaned on the recycling visit. If you have a bin your plan doesn’t include, we’ll move you to the plan that covers it.
Choose the bins you need cleaned
Monthly payments spread the cost of your scheduled cleaning service across the year. Your cleaning dates follow the relevant collection schedule; a monthly payment does not mean one clean each calendar month.
