Residents in Charnwood will be able to book bulky waste collections from today, Tuesday May 5.

The borough council is resuming the service after it was suspended due to staff shortages caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The first collections will take place on Monday May 11.

A limited number of bookings will be taken each week to ensure the Council’s waste partners Serco can continue to focus resources on refuse, recycling and garden waste collections.

Bookings will be taken on a first come first served basis and residents can book collections on the Council’s website or by calling 01509 634563.

The Council would like to thank residents for their patience and continued support of its refuse crews.
