Chesterfield bin collections
Food scraps stopped going in Chesterfield's green garden bin when weekly food collections began in April 2026. They go in a free grey 23 litre caddy now, and if it isn't out by 7am the crew won't come back for it.
Which bin is which in Chesterfield
Black wheelie bin for general waste, blue for recycling, green for garden waste if you've paid. Collection days can move around bank holidays, and Monday rounds usually go out the Saturday before.
Garden waste: £43 a year
£43 for the year from 1 April to 31 March, with extra bins at £18, and there are no concessions. Registration for 2026-27 closes on 27 November 2026. Collections are fortnightly on the same day as your blue bin, and start within seven working days of subscribing.
Weekly food waste collection
Weekly, food only, in the grey caddy. Communal properties are due to get the service later in 2026.
Report a missed bin
Report it within two working days of your collection day.
