The Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) brings together Lincolnshire County Council and the seven district and borough councils to work together on waste and recycling across the county. Its role is to help partners plan services together, improve performance, share learning, and support a consistent countywide approach to waste management.
What the partnership does
The partnership works to:
- deliver the aims of Lincolnshire’s Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy
- improve waste reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery
- monitor performance and share best practice across councils
- assess the impact of proposed changes on residents, councils and other stakeholders
- develop shared positions on national waste issues
- support clear, consistent communications across Lincolnshire
The LWP manages large volumes of household waste every year. In 2025-2026 only 0.67% of waste in Lincolnshire was sent to landfill, with a forecasted recycling rate of 43.44%. They usually meet three times a year, and meetings are generally open to the public unless stated otherwise. Agendas, reports and minutes are published online here.
