Temporary backlog of grey bin collections across North East Lincolnshire

Changes to waste and recycling collections during the hot weather

5:21 pm, Monday, 18th July 2022 - 4 years ago

Waste and recycling crews will finish their shifts early on Tuesday (19 July) because of the extreme weather.

They will finish at 12pm to avoid the highest temperatures forecast for the afternoon.

Crews will work hard to catch up on any bins they miss later in the week.

If your bin is not emptied on Tuesday, please leave it for collection before 7am the next day.

This is a temporary measure North East Lincolnshire Council is putting in place to help its waste and recycling crews during the extremely hot weather.

Crews have been advised to take more breaks in the shade today and drink plenty of water as they complete their rounds.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this causes.
