Press release issued in partnership with Litter Free Leeds

Following successful prosecutions in Leeds Magistrates Court, several households in the Nowells and Bellbrookes area of Burmantofts have been hit with £7910.40 in fines and costs

With over a thousand tonnes of extra black and green bin waste expected to be produced and over a million bins to be emptied across Leeds during the festive period, the council’s refuse service will be doing all it can to ensure bin collections continue to run smoothly.

With over four million brown bins emptied each year from over 215,000 households, Leeds City Council delivers the largest garden waste collection service in the UK.

However, brown bin collections are going into their annual winter hibernation after Saturday 3 December, meaning most households will have their last collection in late November.

Residents across Leeds are being invited to lead the way and become #Binfluencers by helping make sure more recyclable material ends up in green bins across the city.

There will be no bin collections on Monday 19 September as a mark of respect for Her Majesty The Queen’s state funeral.

Leeds City Council is urging more than 50,000 students leaving their Leeds homes this summer to be mindful of their neighbours and keep noise to a minimum.

At a formal opening ceremony yesterday (Monday 16 May) Councillor James Lewis, Leader of Leeds City Council, opened Newmarket House the new home for the city’s refuse and street cleansing services.
