Hundreds of people in Hinckley and Bosworth complained when their bin rounds changed from weekly to fortnightly collections.

Now the local council is offering a range of options to change the way they get rid of rubbish.

The council is investing an extra �50,000 in the new scheme.

People will be offered the chance to recycle cardboard and plastics on a monthly basis, to hire a larger wheelie bin, hire a second smaller wheelie bin, or buy supplementary plastic sacks for those high volume times of the year.
