AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Newark and Sherwood announced a six-month food-waste pilot for September 2026, covering around 3,000 homes in Southwell, Lowdham and parts of Newark. Participating households are to receive seven-litre kitchen caddies and 23-litre lockable outdoor containers for weekly collections, ahead of the wider county rollout in October 2027.
The council says it will assess household participation, collected tonnage, vehicle performance and residents’ feedback before choosing the longer-term approach. Councillor Simon Forde said the trial should help design a reliable service that is easier for residents to use and cost-effective to operate.
