This year's black sack delivery will take place between 4 September and 31 October.

Residents will receive a roll of 52 sacks. If you require any further black sacks throughout the year, these can be purchased in any supermarket. We would ask that you only use black sacks, as this avoids any mix-ups with any kerbside charity collections taking place in your area.

This is a great time to think about the waste you are putting in sacks, and consider if you can reduce it further. Remember, food (both cooked and uncooked food) and garden waste goes in your green bin, and a variety of recycling in your blue bin. Please see our webpages for more information about what can go in your blue and green lidded bin, how to compost at home, or advice on reusable items such as nappies. You can also contact our friendly Waste Team for advice by emailing waste@eastcambs.gov.uk.

Missed deliveries

If you have not received your black sacks from us by 31 October, please contact us before 30 November 2023 to report your sack delivery as missed. After 30 November, we will no longer be re-delivering black sack rolls.
