Have your say on the Banks and Side Waste

The Banks  Your Councillors know the Banks are of huge concern to you. We have been working with Senior Officers to look at a long-term solution. The Banks have recently been cutback and are being cleared and cleaned. As soon as we confirm the long-term solution to the Bank, we will inform you. Side Waste Collection Councillors are discussing a new policy that is aimed at reducing side waste. Side waste is often the black bags left on the pavement on bin collection day. Register your thoughts and concerns on have my say ️

Waste Consultation Survey ️♻️

Have your say on how waste and recycling is collected in Nottingham ♻️

The UK Government has set a national target to increase the amount of waste recycled in England to 65%, while keeping waste that ends up in landfill below 10%. The Government is also introducing new collection rules for food waste and recycling to deliver more consistency across England.

To achieve these goals, the City Council is proposing new options for waste and recycling collections in Nottingham. These include:

• Working on initiatives to help people reuse and repair items rather than throwing them away
• Helping people to manage waste well and recycle the right things
• Starting food waste collections
• Making changes to how we collect recycling
• Offering smaller general waste bins
• Increasing our fleet of ‘alternative-fuel’ bin lorries

To help us shape the final strategy, we want you to tell us your thoughts on waste and recycling in Nottingham. Sharing your opinions will allow us to create a new strategy that works for the city.
