Garden waste

We are currently unable to take online requests for new garden waste bins, additional bins, renewing or cancelling garden waste bins, however our customer services advisors can do this for you over the telephone.

You can call our customer services team on 0115 901 3621 and one of our advisors will be able to help.

We estimate that these services will be back online from Monday 8 April.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused while we make changes to our system.

Sign up to the Garden Waste Scheme and our bin crews will collect your hedge trimmings, leaves, grass cuttings, plants and weeds every two weeks, saving you time that you can spend in your garden.

The scheme runs every year from the start of April to the end of March the following year (there are no collections in January and February). You can join at any time during the year. 

Once you've signed up, your brown bin will be delivered to your home and you will receive fortnightly bin collections. (You can enter your street name into the Refuse Collection Days Form to see when your street's brown bins will be collected and can download a calendar.)

 

Garden waste bin collections coincide with the financial year, they start in April and run through to the following March (with a break in January and February).

View your bin collection schedule or sign up to receive bin alert reminders by going to www.gedling.gov.uk/reminder.

Can I put vegetable peelings in the brown bin?

Please do not put kitchen organic waste in the brown bins as they are not accepted at our recycling facility. If you wish to dispose of your kitchen organic waste you could home compost or put in your general waste bin.

What if my bin has not been emptied?

All bins must be out for emptying by 6am on the day of your collection. If it has not been emptied by 3pm on the scheduled collection day, please let us know. To do this, please go to our missed bin page and complete the form. Please leave the bin out and we will return to empty the bin within 7 working days.
