More than 17,000 new time slots for Lincolnshire County Council's Household Waste Recycling Centre 'click and tip' booking system were released yesterday(27 May), with a number for general waste only.

Cllr Eddy Poll, executive member for waste at Lincolnshire County Council, said:"Lots of residents have been in touch wanting to dispose of their general waste accumulated through lockdown, so we've moved a number of processes around and have made this possible."

On three days next week, all household waste recycling centres (tips) across the county will only accept black bagged non-recyclable general waste:

Monday 1 June

Sunday 7 June

Tips in Grantham, Sleaford, Bourne, Louth, Skegness and Kirkby on Bain will be accepting green waste, wood, paper, cardboard, glass, electricals and scrap metal on:

Wednesday 3 June

Saturday 6 June

Cllr Poll adds: "We know this is a change to how we do things – to have a single waste type being accepted at a time, but we know our residents need to get rid of their lockdown waste. This enables us to have the containers and processes in place to accept it quickly and easily."
