Greener Queen Edith's – "Skip Day" 2026

• Saturday 26 September, 9am–12 midday, Wulfstan Way by the shops

Save the date! Greener Queen Edith's, affectionately known as "Skip Day," is back this year and remains one of the Community Forum's most popular events.

New to Skip Day? It's a community de-cluttering event where you can bring along items you no longer need for re-use, recycling, or the skip. By the Wulfstan Way shops, you'll find a long line of tables where residents can bring items and take away anything they'd like — all for free. Local and environmental organisations will also have stalls on site. Across the road at the Chapel, Cambridge City Council will provide skips and recycling facilities for anything that can't be re-used.

The event is especially aimed at Queen Edith's residents without access to a car for a trip to the main Council recycling centres at Milton or Thriplow. While there is vehicle access, we'd encourage walking, or bringing things by trolley or bike where you can. If you're unable to bring items yourself, volunteers can help collect them from homes close to the event.

We're very grateful to Cambridge City Council for continuing to support this event despite funding pressures, to Queen Edith Chapel for hosting, and to our recycling champions and volunteers who make it all possible.

Want to get involved? If you'd like to volunteer, have a stall at the event, or have any questions, email volunteers@queen-ediths.info.

Saturday September 26th 2026 is our annual Skip Day/ Green Queen Edith’s Day.‍ ‍
