Are you guilty of "co-mingling"? That's the term used when we mix up things that can't be recycled with things that can. A 大象传媒 Breakfast Freedom of Infomation request has found that around 3% of our recycling has to be rejected. But in Leicester and Leicestershire that represents nearly 3000 tonnes of waste! Across the country 97% of that rejected recycling is incinerated or dumped in landfill and it seems it's a growing problem the amount of waste being rejected for recycling has risen by 84% over the past four years. We take your calls on this.

And, Leicester has beaten Manchester, Liverpool and even London to become the UK's greatest sporting city for 2016.

It's Leicestershire's appetite for sport outside of the King Power Stadium and Welford Road that have helped us top this list.
