Recycling & household waste

Bin Collections

The new zonal collections start on 1 NOVEMBER 2011

In order to increase efficiencies and reduce costs North West District Council are streamlining the collection days. You will have received a notice through your door about this. For most of Coleorton the collection days haven’t changed - but please check! See the council’s notice and map. Also note that the council are now collecting clothes, shoes and fabrics along with the recycling - just put your old stuff in a plastic bag and put out with your red box, blue bag etc.

Household refuse collection & recycling

Clothes, paper etc

Recycling bins are located at The Angel Inn car park or put out old clothes and household fabrics in a plastic bad with your recycling. (see council notice above).

Shoes

Clear out your wardrobe and take pairs of used shoes to Coleorton Post Office during opening hours where there is a recycling collection point for used shoes. Proceeds to the Variety Club children’s charity.
