Worksop Recycling Centre on Shireoaks Road, Worksop is the Nottinghamshire County Council tip for Worksop and the surrounding Bassetlaw area. If you've searched for "worksop tip" or "worksop recycling centre", this is the site. It's one of 12 recycling centres the county runs, and it follows the same registration rules and seasonal hours as the rest.
Worksop is up in the Bassetlaw district in the north of the county, and the Shireoaks Road site is its household tip. This corner borders South Yorkshire, so make sure you're using a Nottinghamshire site you're actually registered for, rather than drifting into another county's system by mistake. Retford is the nearest alternative, though it's a drive. Bins and bulky collections for Worksop are run by Bassetlaw District Council.Clearing a whole house in Worksop?
It's usually far more than a few tip runs, especially with vans needing a booked slot from 2 January 2027. See our house clearance guide for costs and free quotes from licensed local companies.

The site checks numberplates on arrival, so sort your free registration first — online via the county council recycling centre page, or by phone on 0300 500 80 80. One registration works countywide. You can register two vehicles, and vans need extra steps — from 2 January 2027 every van must book a slot. The Calverton guide has the full van rules, which apply here too.
What you can take
This site takes the usual household range: furniture, mattresses, appliances, garden waste, metal, cardboard, glass, textiles, batteries and small amounts of DIY waste. The DIY limit is two 50-litre bags per visit, with no more than four visits in any four weeks, and asbestos, tyres and trade waste are never accepted. The full item-by-item list is in our Calverton tip guide, and the council keeps the official list.
If you'd rather not go
A tip trip isn't always the cheapest answer for a single heavy item once you add fuel and time. Consider:
- Bassetlaw District Council bulky collection. A paid collection you book online, charged per item, left out for the crew. See our council bulky collection guide.
- A licensed private collection. A crew comes to your door, carries things out and takes the lot in one go, often within a day or two. It costs more than the council but suits anything heavy, upstairs or urgent.

Only use a registered waste carrier
Your waste is your responsibility until it's disposed of properly. If you hand it to an unregistered carrier and it's later fly-tipped, you can be fined. Before anyone takes your waste, check them on the Environment Agency register and get a receipt. More in our fly-tipping guide.
Larger jobs go through the same form: a house clearance, a garden clear-out, builders' waste or a skip.
