A glass recycling service could be introduced by Newark and Sherwood District Council after a survey of local residents. The current contract between Nottinghamshire County Council and Veolia, a waste disposal company, has no option for the introduction of a kerbside glass service.
But the district council has discussed setting up and introducing its own kerbside glass service, using its depot on Brunel Drive as a sorting hub for the glass. In a recent meeting of the policy, performance and improvement committee (PPIC), members unanimously voted to recommend consulting with all residents on the matter.
This decision came after two resident surveys in which residents rated waste and recycling as the most important service delivered by the council. More than 100 comments were made by residents in relation to this service.
