Nottingham City Council, like other councils, has?been impacted by a combination of Covid and driver shortages.
Nottingham?s thinly stretched crews are prioritising general household and recycled waste ? meaning that garden waste and bulky waste are not always being collected on schedule. So far, unlike some councils, those services have been kept running ? but if the situation worsens the City Council may have to follow the Government-backed approach of many other councils and suspend garden or bulky waste collections.
How you can help
We would also ask everyone across our city to help us to help you in practical ways by doing some simple things that really make a difference ? putting your bins out on time, reducing your waste through composting, keeping our streets and parks clean by taking your rubbish home and checking on any of your neighbours who might need a helping hand.
Our clean teams are prioritising household waste and recycling, which means your garden waste bin may not be collected.
We would still like you to put your brown lid garden bin out as usual, but if it is not emptied then we would ask you to take it back in until the next scheduled garden collection.?
If you're already signed up to receive bin reminder emails, you'll continue to get these as normal.
We apologise for the inconvenience this causes.
