Official link: Check your Newark and Sherwood bin collection day
🗓️ Check my bin collection day
Best route: open the official Newark and Sherwood bin collection checker and enter your postcode, street, house number or property details.
Why: Newark, Balderton, Southwell, Ollerton, Boughton, Clipstone, Edwinstowe and village routes can differ by address.
Collection rule: put the correct bin at the front of your property and on the pavement by 6am unless the council has asked for a different place.

What This Newark Sherwood Bin Collection Guide Covers
How to Check Newark Sherwood Bin Collection Dates and Calendar
The safest way to check Newark Sherwood bin collection dates is to use the official Bin Collection Day page. It lets you search using a postcode, street, house number or house name, then shows your next collections and a full calendar where available.
Official link: Open the official Newark Sherwood bin day checker
Open the official bin collection checker
Use the council’s own checker before putting a bin out. A page that gives one fixed collection day for the whole district is not reliable enough.
Search by postcode or address
Type your postcode and house number, or use part of the street name. If several addresses appear, choose the exact flat, house, cottage or building name.
Check the bin colour due next
Your result may show green refuse, silver recycling, brown garden recycling and teal lid glass recycling. Do not put every bin out unless the calendar says it is due.
Put bins out by 6am
Place bins at the front of your property and on the pavement by 6am on collection day, unless the council has told you to use another collection point.
If you use MyNS, you can also check your bin collection day there, but you may need to log in or register. For most users, the public bin collection checker is the fastest first stop.

Newark Sherwood Bin Colours: Green, Silver, Teal Lid and Brown
Newark and Sherwood bin colours matter because each bin has a different purpose and collection frequency. Wrong items can lead to contamination, a missed collection, or a delayed follow-up collection.
Official link: View official bin types and what goes in each bin
🗑️ Green refuse bin
The green wheeled bin is for non-recyclable household waste that cannot go in recycling, glass recycling or garden waste. The council says this bin can also sometimes be black.
Green Bin Rules♻️ Silver recycling bin
The silver wheeled bin is for recyclables. Since the 2026 changes, extra items such as cartons, clean foil, plastic pots, tubs, trays and tubes can be included.
Silver Bin Rules🍾 Silver bin with teal lid
The silver wheeled bin with a teal lid is for glass recycling. Food jars, drink bottles, toiletry jars, perfume bottles and reed diffuser bottles are listed as accepted glass items.
Glass Bin Rules🌿 Brown garden waste bin
The brown bin is for paid garden waste customers. It accepts garden material such as grass cuttings, hedge trimmings, leaves, plants, weeds and small branches.
Brown Bin Rules| Bin or service | Normal pattern | Resident reminder |
|---|---|---|
| Green refuse bin | Every two weeks | Use only for non-recyclable household waste. No rubble, soil, batteries, vapes, oils, paints or solvents. |
| Silver recycling bin | Every two weeks | Items should be empty, clean, dry and loose. Do not use plastic bags. |
| Teal lid glass bin | Every eight weeks | Glass bottles and jars only. Empty and clean items first. |
| ROB glass box | Every two weeks | For Recycling Ollerton and Boughton glass box households only. |
| Brown garden bin | Every two weeks; every four weeks from December to February | Paid garden waste service. No bags, food waste, animal waste, treated wood or invasive plants. |
Newark Sherwood Missed Bin Collection: What to Do First
If you think your Newark and Sherwood bin was missed, wait until after 3pm on the collection day before reporting it. The council says crews may still be coming back to collect it.
Official link: Read official missed bin collection guidance
Check it was your collection day
Use the official bin day checker again. A wrong-day mistake is not the same as a missed collection.
Check the 6am rule honestly
Your bin may not be collected if it was not out by 6am, not at the front of your property and on the pavement, or not at the agreed collection point.
Check contamination and weight
A bin can be left if it is contaminated or overloaded. Heavy items such as concrete, construction materials or large amounts of soil can stop a green refuse bin being emptied.
Report using the official form or MyNS
Use the missed collection form or MyNS if your bin was presented correctly and still was not collected.
Newark and Sherwood 2026 Simpler Recycling Changes
From 31 March 2026, national Simpler Recycling rules changed the way recycling is collected across England. Newark and Sherwood explains that new items can be added to recycling from April 2026, while existing recyclable items continue to be collected as normal.
Official link: Read Newark and Sherwood Simpler Recycling changes
Cartons and extra plastics
Milk, juice, soup and plant-based drink cartons, plus plastic pots, tubs, trays and tubes can now be included where listed by the council.
Foil, aerosols and lids
Clean kitchen foil, foil trays, aluminium bottles, aluminium tubes, empty aerosol bottles and metal jar or bottle lids are included in the 2026 guidance.
Expected later
The council states that food waste collections can start from October 2027, so do not assume food waste is already collected at kerbside unless the council confirms it for your property.
Do not start early
National rules add plastic film later. Newark and Sherwood says not to recycle plastic film until the council gives further information closer to that time.
For the silver bin, the safest rule is: empty, rinse, dry and place items loose in the bin. Do not bag recycling, and if you are unsure, check the Nottinghamshire recycling checker before contaminating the whole bin.
Official link: Use Nottinghamshire recycling information
