Residents in Beeston and across the wider borough are experiencing delays in receiving their new bin collection calendars as Broxtowe Borough Council carries out a major review of waste collection routes. The council is in the process of distributing updated schedules to more than 52,000 properties, but has acknowledged that many households are still waiting for their copies.

The service changes are intended to balance workloads across collection teams as new housing developments join the area. Because of these adjustments, some residents may find their regular collection days have changed. The council noted that households significantly affected by these changes will receive a formal notification letter.

Officials have advised residents not to rely on the online bin collection lookup tool for the time being. The system is currently being updated and may display incorrect collection dates for several weeks during the transition period. The council, which operates its waste and recycling services in partnership with Veolia, has warned that some temporary confusion is expected while these updates are implemented.

The local authority has confirmed it is receiving a high volume of queries regarding the missing calendars. Residents who have not received their new schedule, or who have any questions regarding the changes, are encouraged to email [email protected] to request a replacement. For those who prefer to speak with someone directly, the council can also be reached by telephone at 0115 917 7777.

Further information regarding the process has been shared by local organisations, including Eastwood Town Council and Trowell Parish Council, to help clarify the situation for those living in the borough.
