Subscriptions for the 2025 season of our Garden Waste Collection Service will open on 2nd December 2024.
About the garden waste service
Our Garden Waste Collection Service allows Bassetlaw residents to recycle even more of their waste.
Collections take place every two-weeks between the beginning of March and the end of November and your fee includes a 240 litre wheelie bin.
Read our terms and conditions and frequently asked questions (FAQs).
The cost for the 2025 season will be £38.00.
When will I get my bin?
If ordering before 31st January 2025, we will aim to deliver the bin, if needed, calendar and licence sticker before the first collection.
What should I do so my garden waste bin is collected?
- Place your bin out on the kerbside by 6am on the day of your collection. Remember to take it back when emptied. Check your collection day.
- Make sure that all your garden waste is inside your bin and the lid is close.
- Please do not place bin liners / plastic carrier bags / animal bedding in your garden waste bin.
- Do not include items other than those accepted.
- Do not overload your garden waste bin.
- Ensure your licence sticker is visible for our collection team.
What can you recycle in your brown bin?
Yes please
- Grass cuttings
- Hedge trimmings
- Leaves
- Small branches and twigs
- Dead plants
- Weeds
- Cut flowers
No thanks
- Food waste, including fruit, vegetables and peelings
- Plastic bags

Please remember: do not put plastic bin liners in with your garden waste as these cannot be recycled, and your bin will not be collected.
