Extra Black Bin waste

We do not accept extra waste at the side of the black bins.

Extra Recycling

If you have extra recycling this can be placed out for collection at the side of your blue bin in reusable green bags* or in clear/frosted plastic bags. The crew can then check the recycling, so household waste and recycling is not mixed. Please flatten large pieces of cardboard and stack behind the bin.

*Reusable green bags are available free of charge from the Town Hall receptions, Victoria Park Leisure Centre, Ilkeston and West Park Leisure Centre, Long Eaton.

If you regularly have extra recycling, an additional blue bin can be purchased.

Extra black bin waste and recycling can also be taken to the Household Waste Recycling Centre in Ilkeston provided by Derbyshire County Council.
