Rushcliffe households are now benefitting from new Simpler Recycling rules that will see kerbside glass collections introduced from outside your home from December 2025.
Collections will take place every six weeks on the same day as residents' grey bin collection. You can find out dates on our find my bin day page . Collection dates are also detailed on a new look collection calendar that was distributed in November.
Existing bring and recycle bank sites for glass and Tetra Pak items are being reviewed as we appreciate most residents will now be able to recycle their glass from home meaning trips to the recycling sites will no longer be necessary.

What happens to your glass bottles and jars?
Glass is a commodity, and can be recycled over and over again, so what happens on the recycling journey?
Under this new service, the glass will be collected more simply as mixed glass, and will then be colour sorted at the reprocessor, meaning we can continue to help your glass be remanufactured into new glass bottles and jars.
