Recycling news and events

Community Waste Days

Community Waste Days are a series of neighbourhood events taking place in selected areas across Derby to help residents dispose of unwanted household items responsibly and support cleaner, tidier communities.

The events provide residents with an opportunity to dispose of certain items that cannot be placed in their household bins, while also promoting reuse, recycling and responsible waste disposal.

Community Waste Days will take place in different areas of the city throughout the year. Each event will be organised for a specific neighbourhood and will only be available to residents living in the designated area.

How will I know if a Community Waste Day is happening near me?

Residents in areas scheduled to receive a Community Waste Day will receive a leaflet through their door ahead of the event or see posters locally.

These will detail:

• the date of the event
• the location
• opening times
• details of the items that will be accepted
• any restrictions that may apply. 

Before attending

Residents should read the information provided carefully before attending, as accepted items and arrangements may vary between events.

Community Waste Days form part of our wider work to support neighbourhoods, reduce fly-tipping, encourage reuse and help residents manage waste responsibly.
