Charnwood Borough Council

Collection Days

To find out when your COLLECTION DAY is you can find out by entering your postcode in to My Charnwood where you will find bin collection dates relevant to your address, together with your nearest recycling points.

Collection Point

The recycling must be left at the edge of your property as shown below (and not on the pavement and not behind a locked gate) and it must be presented by 7am on your collection day.

In addition, you can recycle at one of the waste disposal sites run by Leicestershire County Council.

If you put out recycling that contains materials that cannot be recycled, it will be left for you to put in your wheelie bin or take to the Recycling and Household Waste site.

If you present your box with the lid fitted, the contractor is asked to leave the lid propped inside your box once the recyclables have been collected.

Your recycling is collected by the refuse contractor, Serco, and taken to Leicester Paper Processors in Coalville. There it is sorted and baled for recycling. Leiscester paper processors is owned by Greenstar Recycling.

For more information on all the ways you can reduce, reuse or recycle more, please see the Waste Minimisation link in the navigation on the Right.
