Please note that garden waste is not collected free as part of the normal refuse collection. The Council operates a service for the collection of garden waste for composting by selling brown wheeled bins at an annual cost of £26; or £15 if subscribing by annual direct debit.

The bin is 240ltr in size and is collected fortnightly. Collections operate all year apart from 2 weeks over the Christmas period. For more information about the service, or for existing subscribers who would like to cancel their subscription or, are about to move house. Please contact Charnwood Borough Council on 01509 634 563, or email cleaner.greener@charnwood.gov.uk
