Litter bins

We are responsible for the provision, installation, maintenance and emptying of litter bins in Melton Mowbray Town Centre and the Country Park.

The bins are emptied every day in the town centre and twice a week outside the majority of the shops and Post Offices within Melton Mowbray.

In residential areas in Melton Mowbray, the bins should be emptied once a week.

The bins in the villages are provided by the relevant local Parish Council. Litter bins in the villages should be emptied once a week on refuse collection day.

Bins in the Country Park are emptied twice a week during the school term time, and three times a week during the school holidays.

Report a full bin

If you see a litter bin which needs emptying or which has been vandalised, please report it to us.

On receiving this information will first check the emptying schedule for the area where the bin is located. If the bin is due to be emptied the next day no further action will be taken. Should the due date not be the next day the contractor concerned will be requested to empty the bin or we will inspect the bin and should it be considered necessary, arrangements will be made to have the bin repaired or cleaned.
