I Have Run Out of Purple Sacks, How Do I Get Some More?

You will get some delivered to your door every six months. If you recycle a lot and have run out before your next delivery is due, you can either call us on 01509 634563, or call into the Council's Southfield Road offices in Loughborough. In the villages, your local parish council may be able to supply small quantities to keep you going. Alternatively, we now have purple bag and Mind bag dispensers strategically placed around the Borough, please view the list of dispensers on our website.
