Gedling bin collections
Since 31 March 2026 the green recycling bin in Gedling takes a lot more: foil and metal trays, cartons, and plastic pots, tubs, trays and tubes. Glass still goes separately in the glass box. Food waste won't be collected anywhere in Nottinghamshire until October 2027.
Which bin is which in Gedling
Grey or black bin for general waste, green for recycling. Bins out by 6am. There are no paper calendars, so your dates are online only.
Garden waste: £45 a year
£45 for the first bin in the 2026/27 year (1 April to 31 March) and £23 for each extra one, though sign-ups for this year have closed. Collections are fortnightly, with just one in December and none at all in January or February. No current-year sticker, no collection.
Food waste collections due from October 2027
Not collected yet. Collections across Nottinghamshire are due to start in October 2027.

Bulky waste collection from £26
Pricing is per category (electrical, upholstered, other), and categories are added together. In each one it's £26 for one item, £39 for two, £52 for three, £60 for four and £68 for five, then £8 each for items six to nine. Fridges and freezers are off the list for now, because of national processing capacity problems.
