WASTE & RECYCLING
Knutsford’s waste collection is managed by Cheshire East Council. We have a three bin system; garden waste (green), recycling (silver) and general waste (black). Bin collection days are either Thursday or Friday. You can see what goes in which bin and find out more about the household waste collection on the Cheshire East website.
Knutsford also has a Household Waste Recycling centre on Mobberley Road; here you can recycle a wide range of items from old televisions, fridges and even cooking oil. It can also be used to dispose of additional household recycling such as cardboard – great when you’ve just moved in!
