Leicestershire County Council run the refuse and recycling waste disposal sites, not Charnwood Borough Council.

Please contact Leicestershire County Council directly if you have complaints or queries about the sites or the service.

The three sites in Charnwood are at:

Railway Terrace, Loughborough

Hathern Road, Shepshed

Granite Way, Mountsorrel

Please note: Mountsorrel is temporarily closed. Whilst Leicestershire County Council expect the site to reopen on Thursday February 15, please check the link above for any updates.

Since Monday July 19, 2021 no appointments are necessary to visit a waste site, but vans, pick-ups and cars with trailers, and any vehicle bringing asbestos, chemicals or liquid paint, must have a waste permit.

Applying for a waste permit

Waste permits can be purchased and renewed through the Leicestershire County Council website. More information on temporary or permenent permits can be found on their waste permit page.
