Bin day changes for householders in South Kesteven begin on Monday 15th September.
This change makes the service more reliable, more resilient and more cost-effective.
Every bin and sack collection will be affected, even the green bin garden waste subscription service
The Council has written to every address with a personalised letter explaining how their bin days will change. An updated collection calendar has also been provided to every household.
The advice is to put your bin/sack out in the same location as previously, but on your new day.
Anyone concerned they have been missed out of the mailshot, or if a family member, friend or neighbour has not received anything, please contact our customer services team by calling our dedicated waste and recycling staff on 01476 406544.
A postcode look-up service is available on the SKDC website at www.southkesteven.gov.uk/binday
Cabinet Member for Environment & Waste, Cllr Rhys Baker, said: “We expect almost everyone’s collection to change in some way. Your collection may happen on a different day, or at a different time on the day you have now.
“Because of this, we urge residents to place the bins out by 7.30am on your revised day, as collection times may be earlier in the day than previously.
“Additional resources will be in place for the first few weeks to help householders. However, we urge residents to contact us if they are in any way confused about their new arrangements.
“If you or someone you know struggles to put their bin out, or may find this change more challenging, please contact us and we will find a way to offer support.”
Bins and sacks will still be emptied every week on a rota system as before.
