British-made bins to bring simpler, smarter recycling to every home in North Lincolnshire
Comments Off on British-made bins to bring simpler, smarter recycling to every home in North LincolnshireThe first wave of 70,000 brand-new British-made burgundy recycling bins will arrive in North Lincolnshire in January – a major milestone in delivering the area’s new, simpler recycling service ahead of the 2026 launch.
The new 240-litre bins – manufactured in the UK – will help introduce a one-bin-for-all-recycling system, making it easier than ever for residents to recycle more and waste less. Old recycling boxes and small bins will be taken away and recycled.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is about making everyday services simpler while helping people recycle more with less hassle.
“The fact we’ve been able to use British-made bins too to deliver this straightforward system makes it an event better deal for residents.”
Funded in full by the Department for Environment, the bins come at no extra cost to local taxpayers.
Cllr Waltham added: “We promised a smarter, easier recycling service – and this is another big step forward. We’re improving recycling, keeping weekly garden waste collections free, and making sure the new service works for every household.”
What residents will get under the new simpler recycling system:
- A single, larger 240L burgundy bin for all dry recycling: plastic, metal, glass, card and paper.
- A weekly garden and food waste collection in one bin – still free of charge.
- A fortnightly general waste collection for anything that cannot be recycled.
Residents who prefer to keep their current recycling container can opt out through a simple online form.
Deliveries of the new bins to households will begin shortly after the council receives its first shipment in January.
Cllr Neil Poole, deputy leader, said: “We’re getting ahead and getting ready. By securing UK-manufactured bins now, we’re supporting British industry and making sure residents are prepared well before the new system begins in April 2026.
“We are helping every household in North Lincolnshire recycle, simply.”
