In Lincolnshire, the answer depends on which district, borough or city council you’re in, because they manage bin collections locally. You can find your collection date through your local council, and for what goes in each bin, the published guidance points you to your district council’s recycling information.

For general Lincolnshire guidance, paper and cardboard that are dry and clean go in the purple-lidded bin where you have one; dirty or greasy paper/card, tissues, kitchen roll, cigarette packets, and glittery or foiled wrapping paper or cards go in the black bin. Food waste is also being rolled out in some areas, collected weekly on your usual bin day.
