Garden waste collections restart

From Monday 20th April, garden waste will be collected from homes in Charnwood Borough.

The service, which was suspended at the start of the coronavirus outbreak, will not be "as normal" as Charnwood Borough Council continues to focus resources on the refuse and recycling collection service. 

From 20th April, garden waste bins will be emptied in the following areas: 

• West of Loughborough (list of streets)
• Burton
• Cotes
• Hathern
• Hoton
• Prestwold
• Walton
• Wymeswold
• Quorn
• Rothley
• Swithland
• Woodhouse 
• Woodhouse Eaves

In a message to residents the council said: "Please put your garden waste bin out on Monday, April 20 by 6am (this is regardless of what your usual collection day is) We will endeavour to collect your garden waste bins on Monday and Tuesday, but it may take longer.Please leave your bin out until it is emptied. If bins are too heavy they will not be emptied. No garden side waste will be collected."

Charnwood Borough Council aims to empty garden bins from 8000 homes in the first week the collections are back up and running. 

While the service is back up and running Charnwood Borough Council will only empty garden waste bins once every four weeks as the focus remains on household waste and recycling collections.
