Two of Leicestershire County Council’s recycling and household waste sites are to close temporarily so that vital improvement works can be carried out.
The Kibworth site will close on Tuesday 24 November to allow strengthening works to be carried out on the waste bays, making them more robust, protecting them from daily wear and tear and providing a more efficient disposal process.
It is expected to be closed for up to eight weeks. From Thursday 26 November, the Market Harborough site will be open seven days a week until Kibworth reopens.
The Melton site will be closed from Monday 30 November to Friday 4 December for resurfacing works to the lower yard.
Our recycling and household waste sites play an important role in helping residents dispose of their waste responsibly, so it is essential that all of our sites remain safe, efficient and fit for purpose for years to come.
The strengthening works at Kibworth will make the waste bays more robust and better able to withstand the demands of daily use, while the resurfacing work at Melton will improve the condition of the site.
We appreciate the temporary inconvenience these closures may cause and thank residents for their patience and understanding while these important improvements are carried out.
