Food is meant to be eaten, it's not meant to be wasted.

The average family throws away £60 of food a month. That's a lot of wasted food, and a lot of money that could be saved. This is where iFREEZE comes in.

Do you think you could waste less food? Check out these handy freezer tips, it's amazing how many foods can actually be frozen!

Get mowing that lawn! Garden waste collections have started!

For those of you that receive garden waste collections, please put your garden waste in your brown wheelie bin and put this out on your recycling collection day with your grey lidded recycling bin. 

To find out more about what you can put in your garden waste bin please visit www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/householdwaste. You can also check your bin collection day from this page.

This year our Waste and Recycling Team will be working hard with residents to try and keep materials out of the waste stream. If you are having a spring clear out, why not consider these alternatives to give unwanted items a new home?

This flytip was removed recently by our Cleaning Teams in the north of the city.

Flytipping can be an issue in some areas of the city and we need your help to try and stop it. Not only does it take a lot of resource to remove, it's presence is a blight on our neighbourhoods.

If you see anyone illegally dumping waste you can report them confidentially on 0115 9152020 or online at www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/reportit

Our partners in Community Protection will then carry out investigations to try and prosecute against irresponsible individuals.

Thank you for your help in keeping Nottingham clean!
