Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Hinckley and Bosworth introduced weekly food-waste recycling during February and March 2026. Food is now taken to a plant near Atherstone to produce biogas and fertiliser, replacing its previous disposal by incineration. The council says the service is fully government-funded. Caddies are collected on the usual bin day by separate, smaller vehicles, so residents should leave them out after their other bins have been emptied. Existing assisted collections include the food caddy. The council asks residents whose correctly presented caddies are still missed to report the problem through its missed-bin service.
