Colchester Council to start charging for garden waste collection from mid-January 2024
Details of the Council's proposed charging plans to be submitted to its Cabinet can be found here . Residents are expected to pay £10 in a set-up fee, £30 for a single wheelie bin, and an annual fee of £55. All these charges will be subject to an annual review in the future. The Council hopes to save £200,000 from the scheme in 2024 and, perhaps, £700,000 in the following year. Somehow or other, it will not in my view be a popular move.
