## Description

Colchester City Council is undertaking a significant transformation of its waste and recycling services\. As part of this programme, all residents will receive new recycling wheelie bins, and households currently without a non recyclable waste wheelie bin will be provided with one\. These changes aim to modernise the service, improve recycling performance, and support cleaner neighbourhoods across Colchester\. The phased rollout will commence in summer 2026 and is scheduled to be completed by March 2027\.
