Waste Management
North Kesteven District Council operates a range of waste management services for both domestic and commercial waste. Domestic refuse is collected fortnightly by means of a plastic wheeled bin from the curtilage of the property. Separate services are available for the collection of bulky domestic and electrical items. To find out more about this service please look in the household waste section (found on the right hand side coloumn of this screen)
A commercial waste collection service is available for businesses in the district, this service is available on request and is chargeable. At the current time North Kesteven District Council is unable to provide a commerical waste recycling collection. For more information please see the related pages below.
Thanks to the residents of North Kesteven, the rate of household recycling has increased significantly since the introduction of a kerbside recycling service in April 2002. Before this time the household recycling rate was around 3% of the total amount of waste collected. At the end of the financial year 2006/07 that figure had risen to 55.5%, making North Kesteven the top performing authority in the Country. A figure that is well over the 18% recycling target which has been set.
There are also a number of Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) and Recycling Banks located across the district where householders can take any additional recyclable material. The locations of these can be found in the more information section below.
Other services, such as the removal of abandoned vehicles, the collection of hazardous and clinical waste are also provided.
North Kesteven District Council is a registered supporter of the Recycle Now campaign. The aim of the campaign is to help both public and private organisations in the promotion of recycling and waste minimisation in their local community.
