People living in Bassetlaw can look forward to recycling even more materials from next year as ‘Simpler Recycling’ will be introduced from March 2026.
Simpler Recycling aims to standardise recycling across the country and make 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.
As part of this, Bassetlaw District Council will be introducing a new glass collection service from 30th March 2026, as well as widening the types of materials that can be placed in our Blue Bins.

Following changes introduced by the Elections Act 2022, postal voters are now required to reapply for their postal vote every three years.
All postal voters who made their current application before 31 October 2023 are required to reapply for their postal vote by 31 January 2026.
Apply now.
Each year we write out to every household to check whether we have the correct people registered to vote and to ask you to inform us of any changes. We also use electronic communication, such as email and text messaging where possible, to make the process simpler.
This means that households may not all receive the same method of communication from us, you may have received a text, email or letter from us asking you to check who we have registered and tell us about any changes.
If we require a response from you and you have not yet responded we will be mailing out canvass forms around 15th September to these properties.
Please respond as soon as possible, you can do this online or by returning the form. You can also respond by telephone or text message if there is no change.
If you need any assistance, please call the Elections Office on 01909 533 252.

Bin collections in Bassetlaw are continuing despite a fire causing severe damage to a waste transfer station that is used by the district council.
Residents are asked to put their bins out as normal with the majority of residents not experiencing any disruption to their weekly collections.
However, a small number of household collections could potentially be affected, and should your bin not be emptied, please leave this out and it will be collected the following day. Any disruptions to rounds will be reported on the Council’s website and social media channels.
