Leicester council has bought 5,000 green wheelie bins <\/a>with an \u00a3870,000 grant from the Government. The waste will be collected fortnightly on Mondays when no other rubbish collections are currently made in the city.<\/p>\n

Although the aim is to discourage this, those who still use their general waste wheelie bins for garden waste won\u2019t be penalised. \u201cPeople often have more garden waste than can be fitted into a black wheelie bins and it fills up landfill space\u201d.  For the service, residents will pay a \u00a330 a year charge in order for the council to break even on costs.
