Leicestershire Recycling Centers Closed | Leicester News

Four recycling centers in Leicestershire are staying shut indefinitely due to overwhelming waste volumes—bins are filling up faster than they can be emptied. The closures affect Bottesford, Lutterworth, Oadby, and Shepshed, while Lount remains closed for upgrades. This isn’t just a local issue: three major incidents at national waste facilities in the past two days, plus additional closures by the Environment Agency, have crippled processing capacity. Two key sites that usually handle Leicestershire’s trash are now full and can’t accept more. With a heatwave forcing early shutdowns at all open sites this Wednesday and Thursday, residents are urged to avoid trips unless absolutely necessary—and check for updates first. No reopening date is set until the system can safely manage the backlog. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
