Brown Bins Reinstated

Garden waste collections across North Lincolnshire will resume from Tuesday 2 June.

To help collections resume as efficiently as possible, people are asked to follow the guidance below.

People can help the refuse collectors by:

  • Putting bins out on scheduled collection days by 7am. Check your collection date.
  • Not over filling bins – the lid must be closed to stop garden waste spilling out.
  • Storing excess waste until the next collection.
  • Ensure that any compacted material is loosened before collection – if the waste is squashed down it could get stuck or make the bin too heavy for the lifting equipment, which may mean the bin cannot emptied.
  • Not putting bags of garden waste in or next to the bin. Bagged garden waste cannot be reprocessed.

Brown Bin Collection Suspended

North Lincolnshire Council will continue to collect household waste. However, from today, Tuesday 24 March until further notice the brown bin collection service will be suspended in order to concentrate on core services and protect the vulnerable.

Please do not put your brown bin out for collection. Bin collections dates can be found at the bins, waste and recycling page on the North Lincolnshire Council website.

Residents are urged not to take the contents of their brown bin to Household Recycling Centres (tips) but to compost them at home. More information about this is on the home composting page on the North Lincolnshire Council website.

In recent days there has been a significant increase in the number of residents visiting Household Recycling Centres.

North Lincolnshire Council are working hard to maintain current site operating hours and waste logistics operations to ensure the sites continue to have enough capacity to receive waste.

This may be compromised if the demand for this service continues at the current rate.

Residents are urged to use the sites only in exceptional circumstances, for example where they have excess general household waste to dispose of.

The council are also asking that residents who must visit the sites observe social distancing rules and remember that Government guidelines are that everyone stay at home unless their journey is essential.

2020 Great British Spring Clean

Local Heroes wanted for Great British Spring Clean 

 20th March to 13th April 2020

North Lincolnshire Council is calling on litter heroes to step forward once again to take part in the 2020 Great British Spring Clean. Get involved in the biggest ever litter campaign and help clean up your community – and country. 

This year, the biggest ever litter campaign includes the Easter period to hopefully allow more people to get involved in cleaning up their local area. 

The council continues to back the national campaign to inspire half a million people across the country to get outdoors, get active and help clear up rubbish that lies around us. 

Local people, community groups, charities, sports clubs, businesses and town and parish councils in North Lincolnshire are being called on to join in the big clean up weekend. Join the growing army of ‘litter heroes’ who have had enough of other people’s litter and are willing to do something about it. 

Last year’s Great British Spring Clean was a huge success in North Lincolnshire. Around 400 volunteers rally together to collect over 1000 large bags of rubbish over the clean up period. 

The Great British Spring Clean is led by Keep Britain Tidy and they quote the following facts – 

Nationally in 2019, over 563,163 people, including 175,055 students, volunteered their time to take part in our campaign – the biggest ever! Cleaning up streets, parks and beaches, #LitterHeroes across the country have been making big improvements to the environment on their doorstep.

  • 17,097 clean-ups were held and 957,377 bags of litter collected – that’s 239,344 wheelie bins full of rubbish or 4,308 tonnes worth.
  • Around 61% of the litter collected was ‘general waste’ and approximately 39% has been recycled (18% plastic, 21% aluminium). 
  • Over 1.1 million hours have been dedicated to the campaign – equivalent in time to 128.5 years (24/7).

 

WHAT TO DO NEXT

If you would like to get involved and organise a big clean up locally, get in touch with North Lincolnshire Council by the end of February, on 

01724 297670 or email neighbourhoodservices@northlincs.gov.uk

The council can offer support including providing litter picking equipment and removing the rubbish you collect. We can also provide useful guidance for group leaders and a risk assessment template. Completion of the appropriate documentation ensures the group is covered on the Councils’ employers’ liability insurance policy.

You can also register online with Keep Britain Tidy at www.greatbritishspringclean.org.uk where you can download the guide, get advice and tips. This will ensure all our efforts are recognised as part of this national initiative and the litter pick will be shown on a map of the country.

When you carry out the litter pick please take photos and submit to us, along with a summary of your efforts, including the amount of bags collected.
