We provide a free household waste collection service on specific Saturdays during the summer months.
This service allows you to bring small loads of household items to our crews at a number of locations across Colchester.
What we will take away:
- small loads from domestic properties – use this service to dispose of bulky items not normally collected with household waste
- garden waste to be composted
What we will not take away:
- items that can be recycled
- large loads, fridges, freezers or other electrical goods – but you can book a special collection
- hazardous waste such as asbestos, batteries, liquids or gas bottles – Essex County Council has more information on how to throw these away
- business waste – these can be arranged through our business waste collections
