Where's My Nearest Recycling & Household Waste Site?

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 North West Leicestershire District are:

• Coalville Waste Site - Ashby Road, Coalville, Leics. LE67 3LA
• Lount Waste Site - Nottingham Road (A453), Lount, Leics. LE65 1SD

A nearby site in a neighbouring authority is:

• Shepshed Waste Site - Hathern Road, Shepshed, Leics. LE12 9RP

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.
