Newark & Sherwood District Council

We are now offering a new in-house garden recycling service across the district.

Delivering the service ourselves will help us to meet our recycling ambitions and help us respond better to local residents.

We welcome new customers.

If you are an existing customer it is possible that your collection day may change.

How much will it cost?

For just £35 a year you will get:

• A brown bin
• An all year-round collection service - every two weeks between March and November, and monthly from December to February

Additional bins are available at £35 each.

The service runs from 1 April to 31 March. There are no concessions or pro-rata for joining the service part-way through the year.

Upon receipt of payment you will be given a sticker to place on your bin.

Please ensure your sticker is clearly placed on your bin. Only bins with stickers on will be collected.
