Waste and Recycling

Chesterfield Borough Council provides waste collection and recycling services to all households in the Borough approximately 48,000.  In line with National and European targets we aim to recycle or compost as much waste as possible.

To help achieve this, a variety of collection systems are provided. These allow residents to sort and present waste in a number of different ways . Most houses have three wheeled bins, a green one for compostable waste, a blue one for recyclable materials and a black/grey bin for residual waste. There is currently an extensive network of bring recycling sites which provide local alternatives for  recycling. However these sites are being gradually removed until in April 2012 there will be no bring sites managed by the Borough Council.
