From Monday 8 March 2021, Household Waste Recycling Centres in Lincolnshire will change – with residents being able to take recycling, garden waste and general waste on any opening day.
Cllr Eddy Poll, executive member for waste and recycling at Lincolnshire County Council, explains: "I'd like to thank residents for their patience. We've been working hard behind the scenes to make sure the system can operate safely with all waste types being brought on the same day. This, together with the progress being made by the vaccination programme, means that from 8 March, residents will be able to bring their recycling, garden waste and general waste on any day we are open.
"We would however ask residents to separate their waste types and load their vehicle accordingly – so we can ensure as much is recycled as possible."
Residents can bring, on any day:
- Scrap metal
- Cardboard
- Paper
- Electricals (such as washing machines and TVs)
- Batteries
- Household chemicals
- Mineral and cooking oil
- Gas cylinders
- Clothing
- Garden waste
- Wood
- Glass
- Black-bagged general waste, plastic and mattresses
- Soil and hardcore (limited to one dustbin full per vehicle per day)
- Plasterboard (limited to one dustbin full per vehicle per day)
- Bulky waste, such as carpets and sofas
"To manage the number of people on site and to prevent queues, the booking system will remain, so residents will still need to visit Click and Tip on the Lincolnshire County Council website, or call 01522 782070, to book their time slot.
"Vans and larger trailers will still need to have a permit to access the sites, which can be accessed via Click and Tip on the Lincolnshire County Council website
