Covid-19 Guidelines

Now that Covid-19 guidelines are less restrictive, our services are experiencing challenges around rising case numbers and staff self-isolating. This impacts on areas such as Waste Collections and we are now having to prioritise statutory services of general household waste and recycling collections.

We are advising that all residents place their brown lid garden bin out as usual, but if it is not emptied then we would ask for it to be taken back in until the next scheduled garden collection. For further updates check MyNottingham social media channels or visit our website.

We appreciate your patience at this time and thank you for your understanding as this is a constantly evolving situation. We really do appreciate the kind comments we have received from residents wishing our employees well and highlighting the great work they have done throughout the pandemic to keep collections running as normal up to this point. Please be assured we are doing everything we can to maintain the service.

There are things you can do to help us help you:
