Rubbish Collections and Recycling
Next week's bin collection is on Wednesday, 23 Apr 2025
Chorltonville rubbish is collected by Manchester City Council under its Kerb-It recycling policy. The Council web site has full details of the bin collection days, and advice on what rubbish goes where.
Update:
You can now put plastic pots, tubs and trays in your mixed recycling bin along with the rest of the mixed recycling items. See our news item for further explanation and links.
