No need for 'bin police' to oversee your food waste caddy collections

COUNTY COUNCIL HOPING TO COLLECT 30 TONNES TO TURN INTO GAS AND FERTILISER

- BY JAMIE WALLER Local Democracy Reporter

LINCOLNSHIRE residents will be able to have food waste collected for the first time next year. The government-mandated change is likely to be rolled out across the county in stages although there won't be “bin police” to enforce it.

Each home will get two new caddies - a five litre container to be stored indoors and a larger 23 litre one outside, which will be picked up once per week. It’s likely that collections in Lincoln, West Lindsey, North Kesteven and South Kesteven will start in March and April 2026.
