Cheshire East households invited to share recycling tips to help neighbours
Cheshire East households are being recognized for their ongoing efforts to reduce waste as the local authority launches a new phase of its sustainability drive. The “Be the BIG Difference” campaign is moving from providing general advice to gathering community-led solutions, asking residents to submit their own practical habits that make sorting and reusing easier.
How to share your waste reduction ideas
Residents can contribute by commenting on the council’s social media posts or by emailing the dedicated recycling team. These tips will be curated and shared across the borough to help others feel more confident in their recycling habits. Whether it is a clever way to sort plastics or a method for reducing food spoilage, small household changes are being highlighted as the key to a greener region.
Community pop-ups and new food waste collections
Waste reduction volunteers are scheduled to join council officers at several engagement sessions across the borough over the coming months. These events provide a direct line for residents to ask questions about local waste policies and the upcoming transition to weekly food waste collections, which is slated for introduction in Autumn 2026.
