Burton Mail
|February 20, 2026
A COUNCIL has awarded a £4.2 million contract to manufacturer Dennis Eagle to supply 16 new waste collection vehicles as part of its new recycling system.
The announcement by North West Leicestershire District Council (NWLDC) is the latest milestone in its introduction of a simplified household recycling system of two new wheeled bins to replace the current red boxes and yellow and blue bags.
The contract with Dennis Eagle will see the manufacturer supplying nine new vehicles to replace aging lorries in the council's waste fleet, plus an additional seven 'split-back' vehicles.
These are designed to collect the type of wheeled recycling bins the council will be adopting, whilst keeping the contents separated and free from cross contamination.
