Recycling and Refuse

From this page you'll find lots of information and fun facts about reducing, reusing and recycling in North West Leicestershire.

From ordering new or replacement recycling and waste containers and bins, to discovering our commercial waste services, have a look around and feel free to contact us with any questions or queries.

We have different containers for different materials to help us collect a high quality of recycling.

Thank you for taking the time to separate your recycling. This helps to keep the quality high, produces a better end product and means we can sell the recycling to invest back into council services which helps to keep your council tax down.

All of our material goes to reprocessors in the UK and EU, so there is less travelling for the materials before they are recycled - saving both CO² emissions and money. Find out what happens to your recycling.
