The borough council's trial kerbside collection scheme for corrugated cardboard has been extended to cover the whole borough.
In December 2007 17,000 houses were included in the scheme. Thanks to funding from Chester Waste Partnership, it has been extended until March 2009 and will include the whole of the borough.
Corrugated cardboard is usually found packaging items such as televisions, DVD players and computer purchases, as well as much larger items and household appliances.

The vehicle operates on the same day as other recycling vehicles

Throughout the year we will keep you informed of the success of the scheme.
If you would like any further details of the trial scheme, please telephone the Recycling Helpline on
