Recycling & Household Waste Sites

Leicestershire County Council

Phone: (0116) 305 0001 Email: customerservices@leics.gov.uk Leicestershire County Council website

There are 14 Recycling & Household Waste Sites (RHWS) across the county. Often known as 'the tip' or simply as a 'CA Site', the RHWS now provide much more than somewhere to dump unwanted waste. Sites are able to take a wide range of materials, much of which are recycled or composted.

The sites in Harborough District are:

• Kibworth RHWS - Harborough Road (A6), Kibworth, Leics. LE8 0RB
• Lutterworth RHWS - Moorbarns Lane, Lutterworth, Leics. LE17 4QJ
• Market Harborough RHWS - Riverside Industrial Park, Market Harborough, Leics. LE16 7PT

For more information on the sites and the materials accepted, please visit the County Council website.

Need a Waste Permit?

The RHWS are provided by Leicestershire County Council for the household waste of Leicestershire residents. Trade waste is subject to a charge for disposal and can only be taken to the Whetstone site.

Leicestershire, like many other counties, runs a permit system to ensure that only household waste is taken to the sites for free. Residents are welcome to take waste and recycling to any of the sites in a car, but if you decide to use a van or trailer over 4'6" in length, you'll need to apply for a permit. For more information, please visit the County Council website.
