Hinckley Waste Disposal – Garden Rubbish Collection Fees In Hinckley and Bosworth Have Increased

The study concluded that even with the price hike, the collections would run at a loss of roughly £330,000. The payment would need to increase to £45 for the service – which was delayed due to personnel constraints during coronavirus restrictions – to make a return of just over £2,600. Matthew Bowers, head of environment and planning at the local authority, said: “The decision to increase the price for garden rubbish collections is one of several tough decisions the local authority has faced this year to assist lower the costs of providing services.”

There’s good news for anybody planning to do some spring cleaning or some DIY during the Easter holiday. We looked at what it would mean for vital rubbish disposal services if Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday were all declared public holidays. Most Leicestershire’s tips will be open over the Christian holiday, subject to their regular hours. Three of the county’s 14 sites, however, remain shuttered. Due to workforce shortages caused by the pandemic, both Bottesford and Somerby waste plants are temporarily closed, while Kibworth will be closed until late fall for redevelopment work.

In A Remote Lane, a Large Mound of Waste Materials, Including a Dishwasher and Kitchen Items have been fly-tipped

Over the weekend, a big industrial fly-tip was deposited down a country road near Hinckley. A dishwasher, outdated kitchen equipment, and a children’s play structure were among the items dumped on Green Lane, near Barton in the Beans. Plastic bags, milk cartons, and bottles, including one labeled “Leicester,” were among the debris, as were wooden slats and shattered tiles. Fly-tippers dumped their rubbish on the brink of a layby, spilling part of it onto the road.

Over the Easter weekend, all of the facilities in Leicester and Leicestershire will be open at their regular times.
