Charnwood Borough Council

Litter bins are sometimes emptied at the same time as the street is cleaned, and sometimes more frequently. Litter bins are emptied as much as six times a day, such as in Loughborough Town Centre, to twice a week. For public health reasons, twice a week is the lowest frequency that any litter bin is emptied.

If you think an extra litter bin is justified, please contact us. However, we must consider the ongoing cost of emptying the bin as well as purchasing and installing it, and replacing it from time to time. Other factors include whether it will make a real impact on litter, and the possibility of valid objections from neighbours and so on.

Litter bins on land owned by Parish or Town Councils are generally maintained by the Parish or Town Council. For Town and Parish Council contacts, go to www.leicestershireparishcouncils.org
