Waste site updates
Always check the web page for your intended waste site before you visit. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before closing.
- Gas bottles/cylinders can no longer be accepted at the Loughborough and Shepshed sites.
- Gas bottles/cylinders temporarily can't be accepted at the Whetstone and Coalville sites, until further notice.
- Paint is temporarily not being accepted at the Whetstone site. We expect this to be resolved by Tuesday 23 April.
Bank holidays and weekends: Before setting off, check our website for opening hours, check our Twitter or Facebook for the latest updates. Please note:
- Weekends, especially during bank holidays, are usually busy. Sometimes we're unable to accept certain materials and, in extreme cases, may have to close sites until there is sufficient capacity to run them safely.
- We plan for busy periods, but urge you to think about when to visit your waste site, to avoid delays.
- When visiting one of our sites please remember to wear appropriate sturdy footwear and gloves.
