MORE than 13,000 responses have been received by Cheshire West and Chester Council over new proposals that could result in bins being emptied once every three weeks. The authority s eight-week consultation over the plans, which are part of its 10-year strategy on waste collection and recycling, closes a week today (Thursday, March 18). In the consultation, which was launched in January, the council sets out two options for ‘kerbside waste collection’.
Option A sees household waste collected every two weeks using a 180 litre bin, recycling waste collected every two weeks using two bins, garden waste collected every two weeks using a 240 litre bin, and food waste collected every week using a caddy.
