Local bins and recycling news

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

Rutland defended a £73 garden-waste charge in January 2026 after criticism that the council was making a profit. Councillor Christine Wise said the charge would only help cover costs as the council faced wider budget pressures. Separately, a March report said smaller black bins and food caddies were being delivered ahead of weekly food-waste collections scheduled from 30 March. General rubbish would remain fortnightly in 140-litre bins. Families of five or more, households with children in nappies and residents with medical needs could apply for extra capacity. Recycling collections were to remain unchanged.
