Oadby & Wigston Borough Council have just issued new compost collection dates for 2006. These are the large reusable green canvass bags for garden clippings, vegetable peelings and so on. You can obtain more bags from Client Services on (0116) 272 0572. Many houses in Grange Ward have large gardens but you can have more than one bag.

Alternatively you can home compost and use it to improve your garden. You can buy discounted compost bins from £6 each (up to 3 per household) from the County Council (Tel 0845 073 2001 or download a form to post here). More information on this can be found on the County Council's web site

If you have any queries about the regular black, green and brown bag collections or need more black and green bags, contact client services on 288 8961 or client.services@spam.oadby-wigston.gov.uk (remove the spam. in the email address - this is to help prevent them receiving spam)

Remember you need to leave the bag(s) at the edge of your property for collections.
