Kibworth Tip to Close for Up to Eight Weeks for Improvement Work
Written by HFM News on 10th November 2026
Kibworth’s recycling and household waste site is to close for up to eight weeks while improvement works are carried out.
The site off the A6 will shut on Tuesday, November 24th, to allow strengthening work to be completed on the waste bays.
Leicestershire County Council says the improvements will make the bays more robust, protect them from daily wear and tear and provide a more efficient disposal process.

Market Harborough tip will open seven days a week from Thursday, November 26th, to help residents during the closure.
The council had previously confirmed that Kibworth would close, but has only now announced the full details.
A second temporary closure is also planned at Melton tip.
Councillor Adam Tilbury, the county council’s cabinet member for environment and waste, said the improvements would help ensure the sites remain safe, efficient and fit for purpose.
He apologised for any inconvenience and thanked residents for their patience while the work is carried out.
Residents are being encouraged to plan ahead and use alternative sites during the closures.
