We are currently unable to accept any bulky waste collection bookings for fridges or freezers. This is because the disposal facility used by Leicestershire County Council has temporarily reached full capacity. All other bulky items remain unaffected and can continue to be booked using the online form.
Refuse sacks
Some properties in our area are not supplied with individual wheeled bins, due to space restrictions or location of the property. These properties are issued with pink and brown sacks to dispose of their waste and recycling.
Please see Bin collection dates.
A yearly supply (two rolls), both pink and brown bags, will be delivered to you during April each year. If you need additional sacks, there is a charge of £20 for all replacements. Please call 01664 502 502.
On collection day, please leave your bags at the front of your property (usually at the point that it meets the highway). Please ensure:
- the bags are visible and accessible for crews
- the bags are in position by 7.30am
- the bags do not cause an obstruction to the public
You can put the same materials in your brown recycling sacks as those that can be put into the brown bins. Please see Brown bins (recycling).
Please do not overfill sacks, as they can split, making it impossible for the crews to collect them. Please do not place broken or smashed glass into your recycling sack.
