Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
A January 2026 report on Mansfield’s draft budget proposed keeping garden-waste charges at £42 per bin and £25 for extra bins. The service would continue fortnightly from March to December. This contrasted with planned increases in other charges, including parking and allotments, alongside a proposed 2.99% council-tax rise. Reporting on the proposals described a £228,000 funding gap. Mayor Andy Abrahams blamed reduced government funding and rising service costs. These were budget proposals at the time of that report, rather than confirmation of the final charges.
