Leicestershire Recycling Crisis | Leicester News

Leicestershire’s recycling centers are facing a major meltdown—four sites shutting down this week due to a driver shortage and overwhelmed processing facilities, leaving bins overflowing and waste piling up. The council admits it’s a ripple effect across the industry, with processing hubs also backed up. They’re apologizing for the hassle, trying to hire more drivers, and asking residents to delay non-essential trips until things stabilize. Most centers remain open—so if you’ve got trash to drop off, wait it out and head there when things are back on track.
