Leicestershire Heatwave Bin Alert

Leicestershire’s sweltering heatwave has triggered amber and near-red warnings, with temps soaring to 35°C and possibly hitting 40°C in spots like Hinckley and Lutterworth. To protect waste crews from the extreme heat, councils are urging residents to put bins out as early as 5:30 AM—some even as early as 6 AM—to allow collections during cooler hours. Communities are stepping up too, with locals offering cold drinks and businesses opening their facilities to support the workers. These measures, in effect through Friday, highlight how cooperation and small adjustments can make a big difference during dangerous weather. Don’t forget to check your local council’s schedule—getting bins out early keeps streets clean and crews safe. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
