Waste & Recycling

We are trying to encourage residents to reduce the amount of rubbish sent to landfill and we have a number of schemes in place to help you get rid of your waste properly and recycle as much as possible.

All households in Gedling Borough should have three containers for their waste - a black bin for general rubbish, a green recycling bin and a box for glass. Throughout the year the bins will be collected on alternative weeks, with your box for glass being collected along with the green bin.

Please continue to help slim your bin and remember to:

Put your bin and glass box out by 7.00am on collection day (6.00am on public holidays)
Leave you bins at the front of your property making sure not to obstruct footpaths where possible
Not overfill your bin as we will not empty overloaded or heavy wheeled bins
Not leave bags/waste next to your bins as it will not be collected
Not put the lid of your glass box out on collection days and make sure the glass box is filled only to the level of the rim
Make sure your green bin isn't contaminated
Remove your bins/box off the street within 24 hours of it being emptied.
