There is growing concern streets could become overrun with rats and rubbish after changes to bin collection times.
People living in Ellesmere Port are furious over the change to bin collections which will see some residents wait three weeks for their household waste to be removed.
Posting in Pride in the Port Facebook group, one Ellesmere Port resident said: "Just been looking at the new calendar the council have given us for the bin collection and it's going to be three weeks before the household bins (black bins) are going to be collected again this is taking the p***."
The post sparked anger from other residents who also realised their bin collections were going to be affected by a new timetable introduced by the council this month.

One person said: "So the council are receiving money to collect are waste from council tax and now without a doubt people are gonna end up going the tip themselves so paying for nothing really who can survive every three weeks.
"I struggle every two the only people that will manage that will be single people and then there’s gonna be more fly tipping, unreal."
Another person said: "Oh great so we're going to have loads of rubbish all over the streets and infested with rats."
One added: "I saw that! What a joke!"
Cheshire West and Chester Council said some residents will be affected by the increased rate as a new, revised collection round schedule is being put in place, saying the changes will make the rounds ultimately "more efficient."
A spokesperson for Cheshire West and Chester Council said: "Cheshire West and Chester Council and Cheshire West Recycling are introducing revised waste and recycling collection rounds for residents of the borough.
"The changes will make the collection rounds more efficient, reduce CO2 emissions and provide better value for money.
"All residents of the borough are being informed of these changes through their new collection calendar.
"During the transition period some residents may have to go longer than usual without having their bin emptied for the first collection of the new service.
"We have written to those residents affected to explain that we have made arrangements to collected extra waste bags from their properties due to the delay."
