Brown garden waste bin

Brown bin for garden waste, including grass cuttings and leaves, but not food waste.

Make the most of final collections 

With autumn leaves falling and gardening jobs coming to an end, we’re reminding customers that there is just over a month worth of collections left for Bassetlaw District Council’s popular garden waste collection service in 2026.

As a further apology for service delays earlier in the year, we will be providing an extra collection of Garden Waste at the end of the season for current subscribers. This will take place between the weeks of 30th November and 11th December. Please leave your bin out on your normal collection day.

If you’d like to beat the rush and sign up for next year’s collections, subscriptions for the 2027 Garden Waste Collection service will open on Monday 7th December. The price for the 2027 service will remain at £45 for a full season of collections, and more details will be available later this month.

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 2026 season is £45.00.

When will I get my bin?

If you need a bin, or have increased your subscription, we will deliver one as soon as possible.

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 calendar as collection days may have changed.

  • Make sure that all your garden waste is inside your bin and the lid is closed.

  • 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.
