Never miss a Newark & Sherwood bin day again

Newark and Sherwood District Council covers Newark-on-Trent, Southwell, Ollerton and the surrounding Nottinghamshire villages. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, glass is collected separately in a teal-lidded bin, and a food waste pilot began in 2026.

How Newark & Sherwood bin collections work

With the black and recycling bins alternating fortnightly, a separate glass bin, a paid garden bin and food waste arriving, Newark and Sherwood's schedule takes some tracking. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime. This information was correct at the time of writing; the council has proposals to change its collection schedule currently under review, so your service may be updated in future.

Common questions

When are bins collected in Newark and Sherwood?

Newark and Sherwood collects the black rubbish bin and the silver recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with glass collected separately in a teal-lidded bin every eight weeks. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £37 a year) collected fortnightly from March to November and monthly December to February. A weekly food waste pilot began in September 2026 ahead of a county-wide rollout in October 2027. Nottinghamshire County Council handles disposal.

How much does this cost?

My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.

Do you handle bank holidays?

Yes. We track Newark & Sherwood's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.

Is this an official Newark & Sherwood council service?

No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with Newark & Sherwood or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
