Refuse Collections
Brown Bins – garden recycling collections to resume

Customers are asked to leave their brown garden waste bin out by 6am on its usual collection day as set out on their calendar. Find out which day your bin is collected by entering your postcode here http://app.newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk/bincollection/
You will need a 2020 – 2021 sticker clearly placed on your bin.
Only bins with stickers will be collected.
Residents can sign up for the service, which costs £35 per year (1 April to 31 March), or order an additional bin by visiting the Council website here: https://www.newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk/gardenrecycling/. Residents can also check their brown bin collection day using the calendar.
