Refuse, Recyling and Street Cleansing
Refuse Collection - Domestic Households
Harborough District Council provides all households with two wheeled bins: one black and one green. The service is an alternate weekly service. Wheeled bins must be presented at the edge of your property by 7am.
Black bin - This is for non-recyclable household waste, this includes waste plastic bags, wrapping from food and general waste.
Items that cannot be accepted are; soil, building or demolition materials and commercial waste.
Green bin - This is for green garden waste and cardboard, tree cuttings/prunings, grass cuttings, weeds, leaves etc.
Items that cannot be put into this bin are soil, turf, animal bedding and vegetable peelings.
The size of a wheeled bin can vary due to the number of people living in the household on a permanent basis.
An additional green wheeled bin is available at no extra cost as this is diverting organic waste from landfill sites
Your property will be either on the blue or yellow calendar.
If you do not know the calendar you should be using for your property please contact Customer Services on 01858 828282 for further information.
