Rubbish and recycling

There are lots of ways you can do your bit and recycle your garden waste.

Clearing rubbish and unwanted waste

As well as maintaining your garden as a tenant, you must also make sure that your garden or yard is free of rubbish at all times.

Nottingham City Council offers a wide ranging service for all tenants and residents which includes:

• Regular bin collections
• Collection of ‘white goods’ (for example cookers, fridges and freezers). Note that there is a charge for this service
• Special collection of bulky items
• Special collection of household, garden and clinical waste
• Recycling of household waste
• Skip hire

Making Nottingham greener

Home composting

We actively encourage our tenants to convert their food and garden waste into compost. Compost converters are available at reasonable cost - see details below .

Recycling

There are two recycling sites (at Calverton and on the Lenton Industrial Estate) for use by city residents. There are also a large number of smaller, local recycling sites situated across the city. Nottingham City Council also run a number of schemes which allow recycling/collection from home. Not all areas of the city have all of the following services:

• Recycling garden waste
