Nottingham City Council (the Council) are responsible for the management of waste and recycling in the city.

This means it is the role of the Council to plan the collection, treatment (composting, recycling, and recovery) and disposal of waste and to ensure an efficient collection service is provided for residents and 
communities, including businesses. A resources and waste strategy acknowledges the importance of using resources (reusable items, recycling etc.) within waste and provides the opportunity for a council to set out the key objectives and ambitions for the future management of waste and recycling within its administrative area.

The first waste strategy for Nottingham ‘A Waste-Less Nottingham’ (2010-2030) was originally written in 2010. Since this time, rapidly changing approaches to resource and waste management has warranted a review of the Strategy to bring it up to date and reflect current global thinking.

This new, updated Resources and Waste Strategy (R&WS / the ‘Strategy’) outlines the intentions for the recycling and waste management service which will be delivered by Nottingham City Council from 2023 up to 2050.
