Cannock Chase bin collections
£40 covers a brown bin in Cannock Chase for the whole of 2026. Food waste collections are recent, starting the week of 27 April 2026 on a separate lorry that comes on your usual day.
Which bin is which in Cannock Chase
The green bin is for rubbish and goes fortnightly. Recycling is split: glass, tins, cans and plastics in the blue bin, paper and card in the blue bag. Out by 7am, lid fully closed.
Garden waste: £40 a year
£40 per bin for the 2026 calendar year, and every extra bin is another £40. There are no benefit discounts. The 2026 run is 23 fortnightly collections from 12 January to late November, and you have 14 days to change your mind for a refund.
Weekly food waste collection
Weekly. You get a 7 litre kitchen caddy and a 23 litre kerbside caddy, both light grey. Flats share a 140 litre communal bin.
Report a missed bin
You've only got 24 hours to report it, after which a return visit is charged. The bin must have been out by 7am with no rejection tag on it.
