Find out more about recycling
Residents are being invited to find out more about plans for a new, state-of-the-art recycling facility in the Charnwood area.
The County Council is visiting villages across the borough to give people the chance to learn about a proposed new-look site on the edge of Mountsorrel.
Reducing the amount of rubbish sent to landfill is a top priority in Leicestershire and by 2017 it is hoped that 58% of the county's waste will be recycled or composted.
To help achieve this, the County Council is proposing to replace the recycling and household waste site in Sileby with an ultra-modern, accessible facility at an industrial estate on Granite Way. More »
The new facility would offer:
- a new, modern design
- ample parking space
- containers without steps
- easy access from the A6
- clear signs and information
- recycling for a range of materials meaning less waste to landfill
Tony Kershaw, County Council Cabinet Member for Waste, said: "We want to boost recycling in Charnwood and make it easier for residents by replacing a cramped, outdated site with a state-of-the-art facility with excellent access.
“We would encourage as many residents as possible to go along to the roadshows and take the chance to pick up the latest information, speak to officers and ask any questions they may have."
Roadshow details are below:
• Rothley Centre – 22nd July - 2.30pm – 8pm
• Sileby Community Centre – 23rd July - 2pm – 7.30pm
• Mountsorrel Library – 24th July - 2.30pm - 8pm
•A special roadshow will also be visiting Anstey, Mountsorrel, Woodhouse Eaves, Quorn, Barrow, Syston and Birstall on Saturday, 25th July - more information is below.
Anyone unable to get along to the events can also find out more from an online information point available from 22nd July at www.leics.gov.uk/proposed_relocation_of_sileby_RHWS
For dates of the special roadshows please see the events calendar. « Less

If you love to read but find it difficult to get to your library because you are elderly or disabled, or because you are caring for someone at home, the Home Library Service is for you.
The service, provided by the Leicestershire Library Service, is absolutely free and provides access to a huge range of books, including books in large print and talking books. Music CDs are also available and a DVD subscription service for a small charge.
Signing up for the service couldn’t be easier. We will visit you to discuss your choice of books or music, and a volunteer will then visit regularly to deliver the items to your home. Alternatively, arrangements can be made so that a friend or relative can collect books and other items on your behalf. More »
