Initially, the centres will only be able to accept garden waste and wood, and then look to introduce other types of waste as and when they can.

No vans, pickups or trailers will be allowed on site at this time.

You must be able to unload and carry your waste to the containers. If you are a disabled driver/blue badge holder, please bring someone with you to unload your waste.

Due to social distancing rules, staff will not be able to assist in unloading from your car or putting it into the containers. You'll need to have ID and proof of your address in the county.

Eddy Poll, executive councillor for waste and recycling at Lincolnshire County Council, said: "I know it's been frustrating having the sites closed for almost six weeks and we know many residents have excess waste to dispose of. We are grateful for your patience, and by working together we can safely restore this much needed service."

The changes affect household waste recycling centres across the county including Corringham Road Industrial Estate, Long Wood Road, Gainsborough.
