District Council Gives Recycling Collections Update For Coalville Area

By Graham Hill

North West Leicestershire District Council says that garden waste and cardboard will each continue to be collected monthly.

The measures were brought in during lockdown with collections suspended initially due to staffing issues.

Garden waste collection returned on a monthly basis - followed by cardboard from June onwards Recycling collections return to Coalville area.

And the District Council has confirmed that will continue to be the case.

Both were collected on a fortnightly basis before the coronavirus pandemic.

An eventual return to the pre-lockdown schedule has not been ruled out however.

But the Council issued a statement on social media which said: "We understand these collections are important to you - and want to make it clear that we continue to review when it is safe to resume normal fortnightly collections.

"Your garden waste and cardboard is normally collected in the same vehicle but kept separate.

"This requires a four-man crew during the summer months, due to a large increase in garden waste.

"This makes it difficult for staff to socially distance and work safely - keeping them and their families safe from Covid-19 will always be our main priority.

"We are therefore currently collecting your garden waste and cardboard in two separate vehicles, with a maximum three man crew.

"This is why your garden waste and cardboard are currently collected separately and monthly.

"Thank you for your continued patience and recycling efforts. For tips and advice on reusing and disposing of excess garden waste and cardboard, please visit:  North West Leicestershire - My waste."
