If you have six or more persons in your house, you can get an extra green bin by ringing the council on 0115 9152000 or visiting their website. There is a £15 charge per bin.

Please note that in order to qualify for an additional green bin, you must be using your grey lidded brown bin correctly.

Firstly, check you're recycling properly and getting as much as possible into your recycling bin as this will ease the pressure on your general waste green bin. If you have 6 or more people in your house think about the question above. "Side waste”, for example waste in bin bags or items next to or near the bins, will not be collected during scheduled collections.

If your landlord is not responding or failing to take timely action and the waste on your property is not your responsibility, please report it to community protection on 0115 9152020.

You can take household rubbish and recyclables to Redfield Waste and Recycling Centre, which is located on Lenton Lane near to the Showcase Cinema. For more information, visit Nottingham City Council's website.

Not a good idea - it might cost you! If there is an identified problem with waste management at your property and the community protection officers cannot make contact with a tenant, they will instruct the landlord to clear up. However, this will be at a cost to the landlord and they may re-charge that fee to the tenants.
