Improvement works at Counties recycling and household waste sites.

The works will be carried out at the Mountsorrel, Kibworth and Melton sites.

A programme of essential improvement works will be carried out at three recycling and household waste sites run by Leicestershire County Council over the autumn and winter months.

The Mountsorrel site will close temporarily from Tuesday 27 October to allow repairs to the concrete base in the bottom yard to be carried out to ensure the site remains safe to operate for the future. The site will reopen in early December.

The sites at Kibworth and Melton will also undergo improvement works, with the closure dates yet to be scheduled.
