Before you book
Lincolnshire County Council is introducing a booking system for all Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs).
You'll need to book a time slot before visiting to dispose of household waste. The booking system is being introduced to improve recycling, reduce queues, improve traffic management, enhance safety and create a better experience for everyone using the sites.
Household Waste Recycling Centres are busier than ever before.
The booking system will help:
- reduce queues and waiting times
- improve traffic management
- improve safety for residents and staff
- reduce disruption on nearby roads
- improve recycling performance
- help ensure the service is used fairly by Lincolnshire residents.
Booking system
The booking system is not live yet.
We'll let residents know well in advance when bookings open and provide guidance on how to use the new system. It is anticipated that the system will be up and running in Autumn 2026. Every visit to dispose of Household Waste Recycling Centre will need to be booked in advance.
Booking a visit to a Household Waste Recycling Centre is completely free.
Booking a Household Recyling Centre
Providing that your household pays Council Tax in Lincolnshire, you can continue to use any Lincolnshire Household Waste Recycling Centre.
The booking system changes how you visit, not which sites you can use.
- if your own a second home and it's in Lincolnshire and you pay council tax for the property, you can use the Household Waste Recycling Centres for household waste from that address. You'll need to register the property when creating your account.
- if you are moving to Lincolnshire, once you have moved into a Lincolnshire property and are liable for council tax, you can register for an account and start making bookings.
- same-day bookings will be available where capacity allows.
- if you are unable to making a booking yourself, a family member, friend or carer can make a booking on your behalf provided that the household from which you are disposing of waste is in Lincolnshire.
- if you can't book online, you can make a booking by telephone through our Customer Service Centre.
