The Food Waste Collections by ELDC start on 19th October 2026
Weekly food waste collections to begin across East Lindsey
Residents across East Lindsey are being reminded to look out for important information arriving through their letterboxes as the district prepares to launch its new weekly food waste collection service.
Food waste collections will begin across East Lindsey from the week commencing Monday 19 October, giving households a new way to recycle food waste every week.
In the next couple of weeks, every household will receive a welcome letter with their new collection calendar on the reverse and an updated Right Thing, Right Bin leaflet, providing all the information residents need ahead of the new service starting.
Residents are being urged to check their new collection calendar carefully when it arrives, as collection days may have changed. Please do not share calendars as these are property specific.
As part of preparations for the introduction of food waste collections, East Lindsey District Council has carried out a full review of its waste and recycling collection rounds. This means some households may find that their usual collection day has changed.
Residents should follow the dates shown on their new calendar, from week commencing 19 October, rather than relying on their previous collection pattern.
