Recycling collections set to resume in Nottinghamshire district

Newark and Sherwood District Council has announced recycling collections will resume "district wide" on Monday, April 13.

The authority says people "simply need to revert back to their calendar and place their bins out on the normal collection day".

As routes for the waste services have changed, the council asks that residents have their bins placed outside by 6am.

Councillor David Lloyd, Newark and Sherwood District Council leader, said: “I am delighted to announce that we are now able to restore your usual bin collections for both green and silver bins. We have acted quickly by redeploying and training staff and bringing new vehicles into the fleet.

"Our hard-working frontline crews always go above and beyond, reflecting the pride that they have in their work and the very obvious vital service we provide for all residents – my thanks go to them.

"Clearly we apologise for the inconvenience caused by temporarily suspending recycling collections but we had to do this to both ensure the safety of our staff colleagues and to focus on making the changes needed to get going again.

"I am grateful for residents’ support and understanding this last week and would remind people to please double-bag any tissues or similar items that might carry contamination.”

Residents are advised to "continue to put their critical waste (green/black bin) out for collection on their normal day by 6am" and that the "garden waste collections remain temporarily suspended".
