Garden waste can also be taken to council recycling centres, which are open from 8am5pm weekdays throughout the year. The council is urging residents to clear their front gardens of overgrown weeds and general waste as part of the Household Waste and Recycling Collection Service. Dated for between January 2nd and January 21st 2016 is when households in Chippenham are scheduled to have their rubbish cleared. waste collection in Chippenham, Wiltshire is provided by Wiltshire Council, who introduced a kerbside collection of garden waste on a Wednesday.

Just before Christmas Wiltshire Council advised all residents that their garden waste collection was moving to alternate weeks as collections during this time of year outside of the normal schedule will cause unacceptable health risks due to not being able to freeze their waste. This meant that garden waste collections for one week will be on alternate weeks to rubbish and recycling collections. The change in working hours for all Waste Officers has also been reconsidered and revised in light of peak demand periods such as Christmas, Easter and the annual summer holiday period.

Collections are being retimed to help maintain resource efficiency and load balance throughout the day without compromising on service. The service will change from Monday 22 December to Friday 27 December inclusive. It will then resume on the first working day in January. Garden waste is collected separately from your normal weekly waste and recycling collections. Chippenham residents can have any garden waste collected free of charge by their new garden waste collection service. Every registered household receives a free 240 litre brown wheeled bin containing a compostable organiser bag, which is collected every other week by the council's refuse contractor, Amey.
