New service starts in Mid Cornwall from mid January 2024
The rollout programme
We're rolling out a new waste collection service across Cornwall, area by area in five geographical stages from 2023 to 2025.
We will start delivering information leaflets and new bins to households in our first rollout area of Mid Cornwall between September and December 2023. The new collection service will start between 15 and 26 January 2024, depending on where in Mid Cornwall you live.
We've chosen to roll the new service out in stages, rather than switching all Cornwall's 280,000 households at once. This is because these are big changes - for you to adapt to and for us to deliver.
Doing it in stages means we can help any household that needs extra support to adapt.
We've organised the order of the rollout around the expected completion dates of building works. This is necessary for us to be able to provide the new service at our various waste management sites across Cornwall.
The rollout areas
The rollout areas roughly follow the old district council boundary lines.
The rollout programme is currently in the Mid Cornwall area.
You can check if you're in Rollout Area 1 Mid Cornwall by entering your address in the My Area section of our website.
If you are in the current rollout area you will see a message that says waste collections in your area are changing and to expect delivery of your bins in the next three months.
