Ordinary visits and waste permits

Ordinary household visits do not need an appointment. Vans, pick-ups, qualifying trailers and specified materials require the appropriate waste permit. Household chemicals use the separate Tradebe service in Hinckley; liquid paint is directed to Whetstone. Check the exact permit and material route before travelling.

Opening times and service updates

Lutterworth currently opens Thursday to Saturday, and Oadby Sunday to Wednesday. Check your chosen centre’s current timetable, accepted materials and service updates before travelling.

Keep reusable items separate

Suitable clean furniture, bicycles, scooters and listed tools can be taken to the ReHome Zone or handed over as directed by staff. Soft furnishings need compliant fire labels. Electrical equipment, gas bottles and paint are excluded from this reuse scheme. Do not remove items from the reuse areas yourself.
