How is my waste collected?
- Recyclable materials are collected from the green and grey
recycling boxes every week.
- Non-recyclable waste is collected from the black wheeled bins every two
weeks.
- Garden waste is collected from the brown wheeled bins every two
weeks.
- This means that each week you will have a collection of
recycling boxes and either your black or brown wheeled bin.
- Alternatively, you can take your recyclable waste to any
recycling sites in the borough. Recyclable and
non-recyclable household waste can be taken to Household Waste Recycling Centres.

How can larger items be disposed of?
For disposal of items too large for normal waste collection,
there are several options:
- Melton Furniture
Project accepts good-quality furniture, small electrical
items and bric-a-brac for reuse, which they collect free of
charge from addresses in Melton Borough and Rutland. They can
be contacted on 01664 410380.
-
Freecycle and Freeuse are
online, not-for-profit services for donating and
receiving usable household items of any size, with no
money changing hands. The person who receives your item will
expect to collect it.
- Household Waste Recycling
Centres (HWRCs) accept items of furniture, carpets and the
like and recycle them as appropriate. Householders
must deliver items to the HWRC in their own vehicles,
since a collection service does not operate.
- A bulky waste collection service is offered
by Melton Borough Council for bulky items and there is a
charge applied for this service.
