Mansfield District Council is urging residents to sign up for its garden waste service.
People can register for the £30-a-year brown bin collection at www.mansfield.gov.uk/
Coun Andy Burgin, portfolio holder for the Environment, said: “Our garden waste service brings convenience right to your door, so we are now reminding all residents that signups for 2023 are open.
“Gardening is a great way to wind down from the stresses and strains of life for many and is an easy way to keep active and moving. The bonus part is that with your brown bin, you don’t need to worry about trips to the local tip to tidy up afterwards.
“We would encourage residents to mark their brown bin clearly with their house number so that our crews can identify which need emptying by using our new in-cab technology, linked to the payment system.”
If you no longer wish to use the brown bin service, the council will collect garden bins that are no longer required.
The council collects around 19,000 brown bins fortnightly from March to November and once during December. If you’re unsure of your collection day, you can check online using the council’s bin days search at www.mansfield.gov.uk/
You can also sign up for bin collection reminders on the council website and will be notified to put your bin out the day before it is due to be collected.
Bins should be put out by 6am on the collection day and removed from the pavement no later than 12noon the next day.
People with extra garden waste to dispose of can purchase up to three additional bins for £18 each per year. The council can provide 240-litre or smaller 120-litre garden waste bins. Both sizes cost the same.
Use your brown bin to recycle:
- grass cuttings
- hedge trimmings
- leaves
- small branches and twigs
- plants
- weeds
- cut flowers
