New glass collections for Bassetlaw
 |
Bassetlaw District Council will be introducing a new kerbside Glass Recycling Collection Service from 30th March 2026. In preparation of this, we would like to share some information with you.
The first deliveries of new black bins, which are just for recycling glass, will be distributed across Bassetlaw on a weekly basis, with the first deliveries going out to households in the north-east of the district from Monday 17th November.
Clarborough & Welham will be delivered week commencing December 8th to 12th 2025. |
Bins will be left outside properties and residents are advised to keep them with their other bins until the first collections begin from 30th March 2026.
You can choose to start putting glass in your new black bins as soon as they are delivered. For comparison, the Black Bins are smaller than your Green and Blue Bins.
Collections start from 30th March 2026, taking place every 6 weeks.
More information on delivery days for each area will be made available in the new year. However, you can also continue to recycle glass at our existing Recycling Points across Bassetlaw up to this date.
What can you recycle?
Any other items can be put in your Green Bin or taken to the Household Waste Recycling Centres.
More information about this new kerbside glass recycling service is available here – Black bin for glass | Bassetlaw District Council where you’ll find a list of helpful FAQs and a delivery schedule for the whole of Bassetlaw.

These additional collections are being introduced as part of new legislation called Simpler Recycling, which requires all local authorities and waste collectors to standardise and simplify recycling and waste across the country, making it easier for households to understand how to recycle more of their waste and reduce the amount of waste that is either incinerated or taken to landfill.
To further support these changes, a dedicated App will be launched in the new year that will provide key information on things like bin collection days based on where you live, precisely what additional items can be recycled in your blue bin, live updates on any disruptions to our collections, and much more.
