Waste Collection

Bins should presented on your curtilage (kerbside), as demonstrated in the images below, by 6.30am on your collection day. Bins should be removed from the kerbside as soon as possible after collection but no later than 10pm on the day of collection.

Examples

To ensure that your recycling and rubbish is collected, please place bins out as shown in the picture below.

If your road is particularly narrow, please put your bin out as close to your boundary as possible.

Please ensure that your bin lids are closed and do not have rubbish overflowing and the bin lid open as illustrated below.

Black bin entitlement and swaps

Each household is entitled to one black bin, either 1 x 140 litre bin or 1 x 240 litre bin.

If you still have a 140 litre bin, you can swap this for a 240 litre bin for £38.

You can arrange to swap your bin for £38 here

Disabled and elderly residents

Where a resident has a disability or frailty, we may be able to assist with putting out and returning their bin or to collect their black bags. This applies where the resident is not able to put out their refuse and cannot make other arrangements. You can make an online request by completing the online form using the link below.

Collection days

Oadby & Wigston Borough Council is proud to be the only council in Leicestershire which has maintained a weekly refuse and recycling collection for its residents.

To find out the day of your collections please use the 'My Location' area of this page. Your recycling and household waste will still be collected weekly on the same day.
