Collection calendar for 2026-27 – Route 2
Braintree District Council has introduced a new waste and recycling collection system as part of the Government’s national “Simpler Recycling” initiative. The changes are designed to create a more consistent and easier-to-understand recycling service across England, while helping to increase household recycling rates.
Under the new arrangements, residents will continue to use separate containers for food waste, general waste, paper and card, garden waste, and mixed recycling. The council has also provided clearer guidance on which materials should go into each bin, helping residents recycle more effectively and reduce contamination.
The updated service includes improvements to bulky waste collections, making it easier for residents to arrange the removal of large household items. In addition, an Absorbent Hygiene Product (AHP) collection service is available for eligible residents who require support managing waste such as nappies or incontinence products.
Residents can also access digital collection calendars, manage missed collections, and sign up for additional services through the council’s online portal. Collection dates may occasionally change around bank holidays, so residents are encouraged to check the latest information provided by Braintree District Council.
Further information about the new waste and recycling arrangements can be found on the Braintree District Council website.
