What if My Green Bin Isn’t Big Enough?

To minimise the amount of space recycling takes up in the green bin, items should be squashed (where possible), and not bagged up before being placed in the bin.

Recycling which will not fit in the green wheelie bin will be accepted, but it must be presented next to the green wheelie bin, in a suitable container or bag, but it MUST be clearly identifiable as recycling.  As such, black bags should not be used.

Properties frequently producing more recycling than will fit in one bin may be eligible for a second green wheelie bin.  This will be at the discretion of Charnwood Borough Council.
