Recycling

Find out what you can recycle, where to get rid of your waste and ideas to reduce the amount of waste you produce.

Check what you can recycle

Not sure if you can recycle something? Use Nottinghamshire County Council's free Recycling Checker!

They have teamed up with Recycleopedia so that you can find out what day to day household items you can recycle and how.

Simply enter the item you want to recycle and your Nottinghamshire postcode and it will tell you if it belongs in your recycling or general waste bin, or if you need to take them to a recycling site or request a special collection.

Check what you can recycle.

If you are trying to recycle an item that doesn’t show on the list, you can let Nottinghamshire County Council know via the checker.
