General

North East Lincolnshire Council is reminding residents that their waste and recycling collection dates will change over Christmas and New Year.

Visit www.nelincs.gov.uk/refuse-collection-schedule/ to check the collection dates for your address, or find the service schedule on the front page of the winter brochure, distributed to households in November.

More than one date might be listed during the Christmas and New Year holiday on the online calendar. The Council aims to take your waste or recycling on the first day listed, but if not, they will be back on one of the following days.

Please continue to put the rubbish and recycling in the right bin and put outside before 7am on your collection day.
