Broxtowe uses a black-lidded bin for rubbish and a green-lidded bin for recycling, with glass kept separate in a red-lidded bin or bag collected monthly. Garden waste is a paid brown-lidded bin. Food waste currently goes in the black bin.
Broxtowe Borough Council (with contractor Veolia) collects the black-lidded bin (general household waste, including food waste for now) and the green-lidded bin (mixed dry recycling — paper, card, plastic bottles, pots and tubs, cans, cartons and foil; from 31 March 2026 more plastics are accepted) on alternating fortnightly weeks. Glass bottles and jars go separately in a red-lidded bin or a council glass bag, collected once every four weeks. Garden waste goes in a brown-lidded bin on a paid subscription. A separate weekly food waste service is expected under national rules. 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. Present bins and glass bags by 6:30am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Broxtowe. You can also check the council's own page at broxtowe.gov.uk.
Broxtowe collects the black-lidded (general waste) and green-lidded (recycling) bins on alternating fortnights, with glass in a red-lidded bin or bag every four weeks and a paid brown garden bin. Food currently goes in the black bin. My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you always know which bin is due.
