Local bins and recycling news

AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.

In a 24 March 2026 update, Rushcliffe announced that cartons, plastic tubs and trays, toothpaste tubes and aluminium foil would join the blue-bin list from 31 March. Council leader Neil Clarke reported more than 450 tonnes of glass collected during the new doorstep service’s first five weeks, compared with 250 tonnes through bring banks a year earlier.

In January, the council confirmed it would retain nine glass-bank sites while closing others following the rollout. Councillor Rob Inglis said the expanded recycling range should reduce confusion and support the borough’s ambition to reach a 60% recycling rate.
