Make most of final lockdown weeks now recycling centre restrictions are to be lifted

From Monday, March 8, residents are able to take recycling, garden waste and general waste on any opening day to the centre in Warth Lane, Skegness..

Coun Eddy Poll, executive member for waste and recycling at Lincolnshire County Council, explains: "I'd like to thank residents for their patience.

"We've been working hard behind the scenes to make sure the system can operate safely with all waste types being brought on the same day. This, together with the progress being made by the vaccination programme, means that from March 8, residents will be able to bring their recycling, garden waste and general waste on any day we are open.

"We would however ask residents to separate their waste types and load their vehicle accordingly – so we can ensure as much is recycled as possible."

Residents can bring scrap metal, cardboard, paper, electricals, batteries, household chemicals, mneral and cooking oil, ·gas cylinders, clothing, garden waste, ·wood, glass, black-bagged general waste, plastic and mattresses, ·soil and hardcore, plasterboard, bulky waste, such as carpets and sofas.

To manage the number of people on site and to prevent queues, the booking system will remain, so residents will still need to visit www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/clickandtip, or call 01522 782070.
