The annual clear recycling bag delivery across Colchester will start at the end of April and carry on into May. Each of the 75,000 households that receives a kerbside paper and plastics recycling collection will receive one roll of 62 clear bags for recycling paper and plastics.
Residents needing clear recycling bags prior to the delivery should order online here and collect from one of the local community stockists. Residents are asked to note that the bags may not be delivered on their normal collection day. Recycling calendars can be checked here.
