♻️New weekly food waste collection service – coming in November for most households in Charnwood!

Due to start week commencing 2 November 2026, the majority of properties will receive a weekly food waste collection.

Those living in properties which share a bin store such as blocks of flats and sheltered accommodation will join the service early next year.

There are NO CHANGES to bin collection days.

The new service will help to cut carbon emissions and produce renewable energy.

It’s all part of the Government’s Simpler Recycling and Councils are legally required to offer the service. It will run alongside your usual household waste and recycling collections.

You don’t need to do anything to get started. We’ll be delivering caddy packs towards the end of September. You will receive:
➡️An indoor kitchen caddy
➡️Supply of caddy liners
➡️An outdoor food waste caddy with a lockable lid
➡️Leaflet with instructions on how to use the service and what can and cannot be recycled

For updates, sign up for email alerts: www.charnwood.gov.uk/alerts

🌧️⚠️A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms and heavy rain has been issued for Wednesday and Thursday (26 and 27 August) – along with a warning of possible flooding.

The risk of localised flooding is higher because of months of hot, dry weather which has left the ground extremely dry.

The Local Resilience Forum for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland has shared some advice and information on being prepared for possible flooding.
