Tip to open for cardboard and glass disposal next week

You will be allowed to take cardboard and glass to tips in Lincolnshire from next week as restrictions are being lifted earlier than first stated.

After the Household Waste Recycling Centres (tips) across the county, including Spalding’s, reopened yesterday (Monday) Lincolnshire County Council has today announced its speeding up reintroducing other materials being taken there.

From next Monday (May 25), residents will be able, along with garden waste and wood, to bring cardboard and glass to sites across the county.

And from Monday 1 June, in two weeks’ time, residents will also be able to bring electricals, scrap metal and black bagged residual waste.

Coun Eddy Poll, executive councillor for waste and recycling at Lincolnshire County Council said: “Residents had been in touch asking to bring extra items to the sites, so we’ve worked hard over the past week to make this possible.

“To use the sites, you must book a timeslot via www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/clickandtip or 01522 782070.  Although there are a large number available, we will be releasing more slots on Tuesday May 26.”

Phone lines are open Monday – Friday 8am-6pm. (Closed Bank Holiday Monday May 25).
