Be aware of these changes
Don’t forget bin collections in Lincoln will be shuffled slightly over the Christmas period.
City of Lincoln Council has confirmed the following changes to the waste and refuse collections:
Waste collection must be presented by 7am on the day of collection.
Any additional recycling that does not fit in your recycling bin can be presented as side waste in a clear plastic bag. Side waste cannot be taken with your black bin.
This Christmas remember: no grease, no grub, and no glitter in your recycling bin! #recycling https://t.co/qoknH98zIc pic.twitter.com/05aDIy3Vob
