Bassetlaw catches people out: the green bin here is your general rubbish, not garden waste, and the blue bin is recycling. Glass has its own black bin collected on a six-week cycle. A weekly food waste service is due by 2027.
Bassetlaw District Council collects the green bin (general household waste) and the blue bin (mixed dry recycling — paper, card, cans, plastics and cartons) on alternating fortnightly weeks. Glass bottles and jars go in a separate black glass bin, collected once every six weeks. Garden waste goes in a brown bin on a paid subscription, collected fortnightly. A separate weekly kerbside food waste collection is being introduced by October 2027. This information was correct at the time of writing; the council has proposals to change its collection schedule currently under review, so your service may be updated in future. Note the local quirks: green is your general rubbish here, not garden waste, and glass is collected only every six weeks. Present bins by 6am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Bassetlaw. You can also check the council's own page at bassetlaw.gov.uk.
