Colchester City Council’s seasonal Saturday Household Drop-Off Service will restart in April and will run until August 2025.
The drop-off service will be visiting 24 locations across the city, picking up small, broken, or unwanted household items that are either not recyclable or not collected as part of their kerbside collection.
Items that will not be accepted as part of this service include items collected as part of kerbside collections (including things that can be recycled and garden waste), large loads, fridges, freezers or other electrical goods, hazardous waste such as asbestos, batteries, liquids or gas bottles or business waste.
Residents are advised to visit the council’s website and look up when and where their nearest drop-off service is being held – further information can be found here.
