Recycling is easy to do, free* and reduces our dependency on landfill sites. By recycling your unwanted rubbish through ROB you can feel safe in the knowledge that you are:

  • Providing valuable learning experiences, skills training and real work in the recycling industry for those with learning disabilities and the long-term unemployed;
  • Helping Newark and Sherwood District Council meet the government targets on reducing landfill and protecting the environment in the process;
  • Enabling ROB to sell recycled products which provides the funding for further development of the scheme.
