Calverton (NG14) is a large former mining village north-east of Nottingham, in Gedling borough. It has plenty of family homes with good-sized gardens, older properties around the village centre, and newer estates on its edges. That means a steady flow of garden clear-outs, house clearances, loft and garage sort-outs, and renovation waste. The villages around it, like Woodborough, Lambley and Bestwood Village, deal with the same councils and the same rules. Here's how to get rid of waste locally: the free options, the council services, and when it's worth paying for a collection.
Calverton has something most villages don't: its own council tip. Calverton Recycling Centre on Hollinwood Lane (NG14 6NR) is run by Nottinghamshire County Council and serves the whole of Gedling borough. It's free, it's open every day from 8am, and it closes at 4pm, 6pm or 8pm depending on the time of year. Before you go, you must register your vehicle with Nottinghamshire County Council. Hire vans need clearing with the council at least 24 hours ahead, and from 2 January 2027, every van will need a booked slot.
Being close to the tip doesn't make every job a tip job, though. It only takes two 50-litre bags of DIY waste per visit, with a limit of four DIY visits a month. It won't take trade waste. And you still have to lift everything into a car and back out again. Our Calverton tip guide has the opening times for every month, what's accepted, and a live open or closed check.
When a collection beats the tip: a whole-house or garage clear-out that would take several trips, renovation rubble over the two-bag limit, a big garden clear-out, anything too heavy or bulky for your car, or when you simply don't have the time. That's what the companies we work with do: they come to you and load it all.
Get free Calverton quotes →Calverton's bins are collected by Gedling Borough Council, while the tip is run by Nottinghamshire County Council. Gedling's brown bin for garden waste is a paid subscription: £45 a year for the first bin and £23 for each extra one in 2025/26, collected fortnightly from April, with no collections in January or February. There's sometimes a waiting list. It's fine for regular grass and hedge trimmings, but a big clear-out of an overgrown garden, soil, turf or old fencing won't fit in a wheelie bin. A one-off garden waste collection takes it all in a single visit. See our garden waste guide for every option.
Gedling runs a booked bulky waste collection. From April 2026 it's £26 for one item, £13 each for two or three items, and £8 each for four to nine. The crew collects from outside your home only. Fridge and freezer collections are currently paused because of a national shortage of fridge recycling capacity, so our fridge freezer guide covers the other options. For a sofa or mattress, see how to get rid of a sofa or mattress. When you want something gone quickly, it's upstairs, or you'd rather someone else did the lifting, a man-and-van collection is usually the better route.
Whether you're moving, downsizing, clearing a rental, or sorting out a relative's home, a clearance company handles the lot: furniture, boxes, garage and loft contents, and garden sheds. If a home is being cleared after a death, it's worth getting the contents valued before anything goes, as belongings may count towards the estate. Good clearance teams work to your timescale and set aside anything the family wants to keep. Our house clearance service and house clearance guide explain what to expect.
Kitchen refits, bathroom rip-outs and extensions create far more waste than the tip allows: two bags of rubble a visit won't get you far. A builders' waste collection takes rubble, plasterboard, old units and tiles in one go, with no permit needed and no skip sitting on your drive for a week.
Shops, pubs, offices and trades in and around Calverton can't use the council tip at all, as it's for household waste only. Our commercial waste service connects local businesses with licensed collectors for one-off clear-outs or regular pickups.
A cheap "cash in hand" offer to take your rubbish away can end up costing you more. If what they take is later found dumped, it can be traced back to you under your household duty of care, and you can be fined. Before anyone takes it, check their Environment Agency waste carrier licence. Every company we connect you with is licensed and gives you a waste transfer note as proof. See our fly-tipping guide for how to check anyone in two minutes.
| Job | Typical 2026 cost |
|---|---|
| A sofa, bed or broken appliance | £40–£70 |
| Shed or garage clear-out (part load) | £60–£150 |
| Full van of household or renovation waste | £150–£300 |
| Garden tidy-up, soil or turf (one-off) | From £60, by volume |
| House clearance | By property size (see guide) |
What moves the price most is volume and weight: a shed full of old timber and fence panels costs more than a few bags of clutter, and a garage clear-out more than a single sofa. Tell us roughly what's there and compare real quotes for your job, for free.
Calverton Recycling Centre is on Hollinwood Lane, Calverton, NG14 6NR, run by Nottinghamshire County Council. It opens every day from 8am and closes at 4pm, 6pm or 8pm depending on the season. You must register your vehicle with the county council first. Hire vans must be cleared with the council at least 24 hours ahead, and from 2 January 2027 every van will need a booked slot.
As a 2026 guide, a single item such as a sofa or fridge is around £40 to £70, a small man-and-van load £60 to £150, and a full van load £150 to £300. House and garden clearances are priced by volume. Comparing a few quotes for your actual job is the best way to get a fair price.
Calverton is in Gedling borough, so bins, garden waste and bulky collections are handled by Gedling Borough Council. The recycling centre on Hollinwood Lane is run separately by Nottinghamshire County Council.
Yes. From April 2026 Gedling charges £26 for one item, £13 each for two or three items, and £8 each for four to nine. Collections are from outside your home only. Fridge and freezer collections are currently paused because of a national shortage of fridge recycling capacity.
It's a paid subscription: £45 a year for the first brown bin and £23 for each extra one in 2025/26, collected fortnightly from April, with no collections in January or February. For a one-off big garden clear-out, a private garden waste collection takes everything in one visit.
Only a small amount. The county tips accept two 50-litre bags of DIY waste, or one item no bigger than a bath, per visit, with a limit of four visits a month. Waste from a bigger renovation, or from work a tradesperson did, isn't accepted, so it needs a builders' waste collection or a skip.
Every one. We only pass Calverton jobs to companies registered as waste carriers with the Environment Agency, and they give you a waste transfer note when they take your rubbish, which is your proof it was handled legally.
