Food waste collections will begin across East Lindsey from the week commencing Monday 19 October, giving households a new way to recycle food waste every week.

In the next couple of weeks, every household will receive a welcome letter with their new collection calendar on the reverse and an updated Right Thing, Right Bin leaflet, providing all the information residents need ahead of the new service starting.

Residents are being urged to check their new collection calendar carefully when it arrives, as collection days may have changed. Please do not share calendars as these are property specific.

As part of preparations for the introduction of food waste collections, East Lindsey District Council has carried out a full review of its waste and recycling collection rounds. This means some households may find that their usual collection day has changed.

Residents should follow the dates shown on their new calendar, from week commencing 19 October, rather than relying on their previous collection pattern.

There are no changes to garden waste collections, and residents should continue to present their garden waste on their existing confirmed collection day

Food waste will be collected every week, alongside one of residents’ other scheduled waste or recycling collections.

Most households have already received their food waste caddy pack, which includes a small indoor caddy, a larger outdoor caddy and an initial roll of liners.

Residents are reminded not to start using their caddies until the week before their first collection and to check their new calendar to find out when their service begins.

Arrangements are also being finalised for residents living in flats and other properties with communal waste facilities. As previously agreed with residents, managing agents and landlords where appropriate, food waste caddies and containers will be delivered to communal areas before collections begin.

Any household that should have received an individual caddy pack but has not yet received one should report at Report Food Caddy Issue - East Lindsey District Council.
