ATTENTION! We could not empty your bin because it had the wrong waste in it. 

If you have this sticker on your bin you will need to remove the contaminated items and put them in your general waste bin (if appropriate) before we will come and empty your recycling bin on your next collection. To learn about what can and can not be put in your recycling bin visit:

Sorry we damaged your bin!

Unfortunately, we have damaged your bin; it may have fallen into the back of the wagon, or we may have damaged the wheels. We have logged the damage and will be replacing your bin within 10 days.

Your bin is too damaged to empty!

Unfortunately, we have been unable to collect your bin

 because it is too damaged to be safely emptied and handled by our crews. You must order a new bin online and arrange a collection of your damaged bin before we can empty your bin.

You can do this here: Bin Request - Nottingham City Council

Your bin is too heavy!

Unfortunately, we have been unable to collect your bin today because it is too heavy. You will need to remove some items before your next collection date. Check

 whether your heavier items can be disposed of at the recycling centre or by booking a bulky waste collection.
