Rushcliffe borough council recycling facilities
Rushcliffe Borough Council’s ‘Bring Sites’ (bottle banks and tetrapak cartons) are operated by Rushcliffe Council, not the County. Clothes bank collection points can be found at most of these sites.
The 'Bring Sites' are at the Hook Carpark (bottles only), West Bridgford library car park and at Asda, Morrisons (example below) and Sainsbury’s. We welcome feedback on what is and is not accepted at these sites. You can find your nearest Bring Site, via this link - https://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/recycling-and-waste/recycling/recycling-sites/
These take separated glass bottles and jars and tetrapacks (with or without tops? we aren't yet sure), clothes, household fabrics, shoes (for re-use?). We also believe that Sainsbury’s, Asda, the Co-op and Morrisons will accept used plastic carrier bags but at a collection point in-store, not at the Bring Site. We also don't yet know whether there are any differences between the sites. Their main page on recycling and on waste disposal/collection can be found here - https://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/recycling-and-waste/
Lady bay hook carpark
Bottle bank only.
2 bins for each of green and brown bottles, 1 for clear.
Morrisons Bring Site
Typical bring site that caters for more articles, not just bottles. Others are at the Library car park and at Asda and Sainsburies.
We are not sure whether the presence of plastic tops on the tetrapaks is significant - we suspect they shouldn't be included, see drop-off points for a collection point in Lady Bay for these.
Cardboard should not be deposited in the carton banks, it goes in the separate blue bin (shown here) at Morrisons, or your own blue bin.
Site also accepts green, brown and clear glass bottles and jars.
Clothes banks are closed during Covid-19. Please keep these items at home until they reopen and please do not leave in bags by the bins, they are not being emptied.
