Households in Rutland will continue to have their black bins collected fortnightly following a petition launched by Alicia Kearns MP and signed by over 2,200 residents.
Instead households will be provided with smaller black bins.
Alicia Kearns, Member of Parliament for Rutland and Stamford, said:
"Thanks to over 2,200 of you who signed my petition to save Rutland’s fortnightly black bin collection, the Council is no longer considering proposals to move to a three-weekly black bin collection.
"Earlier this month Cabinet announced smaller black bins will be introduced, however I am relieved residents have prevailed and the frequency of collections has not been reduced.
"As Rutlanders pay the highest rate of council tax nationally, it is not unreasonable to expect a fortnightly black bin collection."
