Local bins and recycling news

AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.

North West Leicestershire plans to replace recycling boxes and bags with two wheeled bins from November 2026, following councillors’ approval in July. The phased rollout starts with about 12,500 homes, including Wednesday collections in Coalville and nearby communities. Households joining will also receive weekly food-waste and battery collections. Textile collections will end, and extra recycling left beside bins will no longer be taken because the new vehicles cannot be loaded by hand that way. The council says it will work with households short of pavement space or bin capacity to find suitable alternatives.
