Since 2003 Leicester City Council has worked in partnership with Biffa Leicester to create state of the art recycling facilities and waste treatment methods. Our innovative solution is the 'Ball Mill' a fully mechanised waste processing and recycling facility, designed to treat all household waste. The Ball Mill extracts several materials including organic waste which is sent for composting at our Anaerobic Digester facility in Wanlip.
Thanks to all of your help and support, last year we recycled, composted and recovered 40% of our waste in Leicester. Together we can do even more.
Residents in Leicester City have access to a wide range of recycling facilities, including a weekly orange bag recycling service which collects a wide range of materials; two Community Recycling Centres and over 60 Recycling Banks.
Find out more about recycling in Leicester by downloading our Service Leaflet or by visiting our recycling pages.
