We operate a three bin system. Black Bins (domestic waste) Burgundy Bins (recyclable waste) and Green Bins (garden/food waste). 

The bins are collected on a fortnightly basis with the black bin one week and the green and burgundy bin the following week. Please note that the green bin collections are currently suspended for the winter period. You can find out when your bin is due to be collected by using the relevant calendar option below.

• Calendar A covers the following towns and villages - Palterton, Scarcliffe, Hillstown, Bolsover, Shuttlewood, Stanfree, Clowne, Barlborough, Whitwell, Hodthorpe, Creswell, Langwith, Whaley Thorns, Upper Langwith and all small holdings, etc, in and around these areas.

Annual household waste collection arrangements are set out in calendars delivered in October which further clarify dates of your three-bin service and information on recycling and composting.
