Rutland County Council will be promoting their  “Waste Less, Recycle More” campaign to ready the public for the introduction of the new dedicated food waste collections from March 2026. This is a legal requirement that they will have to follow.

Bin collections and new bins will be provided.

Callconnect is an on-demand bus service – available to all on a pre-booked basis. Launched on 31 March 2025, the service currently operates throughout zone 1 in Rutland and our ‘book a bus’ service is scheduled according to passenger journey requests, giving flexibility to travel to your timetable. Download the app or call the booking line to begin your journey!

On-demand bus travel will be fully rolled out across the county from 4 August 2025, adding zones 2 and 3, helping to connect villages with main bus routes, which then provide onward travel to larger destinations.

The offer of free travel on all on-demand buses is also being extended until 31 March 2026, so there’s no better time to get on board.
