Bin Collection Colchester
Only pay for collections
A large historic town sitting on the commuter belt into London, Colchester is one of Britain’s fastest-growing towns. It was once the capital city during Roman Britain and is thought to be the oldest recorded town in Britain. Connected to London via the A12, Colchester is also a short 45-minute drive from Stansted Airport and only 20 miles from the passenger ferry port of Harwich.
In 2014, Colchester was estimated to have around 180,420 residents, although substantial building works in the surrounding towns and villages, including Stanway and Wivenhoe, have seen this number shoot up. This is also increased by the large University of Essex that sits on the outskirts of Colchester and the Army barracks and garrison, which is home to an estimated 4,000 military personnel.
It is a prosperous area with its own football club and historic castle. During July 2012-June 2013, 74.9% of the working age population in Colchester were in employment. The council in Colchester are working to reduce unnecessary waste and improve recycling in the area. For homeowners and small businesses, this will include fortnightly collections for general rubbish, the introduction of wheelie bin collections, free recycling sacks and a second free green box so glass and cans are able to be separated when recycled.
In 2009/10, Defra found that 36% of household waste in Colchester was sent for reuse, recycling or composting; this increased to 40% in 2010/11.

FAQs
-
Can I add an additional bin to my service?
Yes, of course. We can provide extra bins for new waste streams to encourage recycling. Or if you’re simply producing more waste of the same type, we can add an extra or larger bin to your delivery and collection services if you’re at capacity.
-
Do you supply a duty of care certificate?
Yes, we provide a duty of care certificate (also known as a waste transfer note (WTN)) free of charge as part of your service agreement. This is included for free every time we collect any type of waste from your premises. Duty of care certificates are a legal requirement and licensed waste carriers can complete them for free – so you should never be charged for one.
Find out more about them in our guide to waste transfer notes.
-
How often will my bin be emptied?
We offer our customers a choice of daily, weekly, or fortnightly collections – so your bins are emptied as often as you want. Our expert team can advise on the correct waste collection schedule based on the type and amount of waste you produce and your business needs – such as your bin storage space and location.
-
What time will my bin be collected?
Bin collection times vary depending on your location, waste type, number and size of bins, and other factors. We work with all our customers to ensure your waste is always collected on time when it’s suitable for you and the licensed waste carrier. We can work around access times to arrange collections at convenient times.
-
What type of wheelie bins are available?
A range of two and four-wheel bins are available to store all sorts of waste on your premises. Explore our bins to see all available bins and information about what types and amounts of waste they can hold.

How can we reduce our waste?
There are many ways to reduce the amount of waste we produce as individuals and businesses. A waste audit can highlight where you’re producing lots of waste as a starting place to cut down. Simple steps to reduce waste include efficient purchasing, buying reusable products, and recycling as much as possible. For more tips, read our guide about how to reduce waste.

What is ISO certification and why is it important?
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental group that uses experts to set global standards for providing innovation and solutions to worldwide challenges. ISO certification confirms a management system, manufacturing process, service, or documentation procedure meets the requirements for standardisation and quality assurance.
ISO certification is provided by a third party – in our case Alcumus ISOQAR, which provides UKAS accredited ISO certification. The standards provide benchmarks for businesses to meet, ensuring achieving ISO certification demonstrates a well-run, stable business that’s ready to grow. There are more than 20,000 management standards, but the two we’ve achieved provide the following benefits:
- ISO 9001: 2015 – helps put our customers first.
- ISO 14001: 2015 – reduces our environmental impact.
