New bin collection times for residents in Rutland
The Council says it'll be writing to residents over the next few days
People in Rutland will be getting notified of new bin collection times - with 10 brand new waste vehicles hitting the streets next month.
A £2 million investment has been made to reduce vehicle breakdowns and carbon emissions, while improving working conditions for crews.

The investment in new refuse and recycling vehicles will provide Rutland with eight 26-tonne vehicles and two 18-tonne split body refuse vehicles, all fitted with improved in-cab technology.
This will mean a change to bin collection days for around 4,000 residents across the County, starting in April 2024.
To make this as easy as possible for those who are affected, Rutland County Council is writing to every household that will see a change to their usual bin collections. Letters will be delivered from Monday 18 March, confirming new collection days and when the change will take effect.
The Council has also added a postcode checker to its website, allowing residents to search bin collection days for their address. The postcode checker is online here.
There will be no changes to Rutland’s green waste collection service.
