Bin collection day are to change across South Holland from next month onwards.
South Holland District Council says it’s changing the days ‘all households’ have their rubbish collected ‘to be more efficient’.
It continues it’s writing to all residents to let them know when their collections are, but it can’t be checked online until three days before.
A a sperate card and paper collection that’s been trialled in Pinchbeck and Surfleet will also end.
A spokesman for South Holland District Council South Holland District Council has announced that starting from the first week of October, there will be refuse and recycling collection day changes for all households in the District in a bid to make the service more efficient.
“The changes which will be implemented from the morning of Monday October 2 onwards, mark the first changes to collection days in South Holland for many years.
“The council will be writing to all residents to confirm their specific collection day. Additionally, residents will be able to check their collection day online at www.sholland.gov.uk/mycollections from Friday September 29 onwards.
“The council have worked to improve both the efficiency and the resilience of the refuse and recycling collection services, the new changes will mean less chance of disruption and enable a quicker response to any disruption that is caused in the future.
“Residents are reminded to continue to present their refuse and recycling sacks for collection by 6am on the day of their collection, and that sacks presented in a bin or container will not be collected.
“The paper and card recycling trial, which has been active in the Pinchbeck and Surfleet ward since September 2019 will also be ending on Monday 2 October. Residents are once again encouraged to place clean paper and card in green recycling sacks to be collected weekly as normal. Any purple sacks that residents have remaining can continue to be used and presented on their normal recycling day.”
Councillor Jack Tyrrell, Portfolio Holder for Environmental Services, said “There has been huge amounts of work behind the scenes to get these reroutes sorted for our residents, this should mean a greater level of efficiency and resilience in the service and the means to be able to cope with increased demand from our growing population.”
“Full credit to those involved with the project, I’d encourage everyone to keep an eye on their post for a letter arriving soon from the Council.”
