Who collects what in South Holland

South Holland District Council collects household bins, recycling, garden waste and bulky items. Lincolnshire County Council is the waste disposal authority, so it runs the household waste recycling centres (the tips) and decides where the waste goes after collection. If you have a question about your bin day, missed bins or new bins, contact South Holland. For tip opening hours, van permits or booking a tip slot, contact Lincolnshire County Council.

Recycling rules in England

Under Simpler Recycling, councils in England must collect the same core recycling from every home: paper and card, glass, metal, plastic (including cartons), food waste every week, and garden waste for households that ask and pay any charge. The rules applied from 31 March 2026, with plastic film and bags joining the plastic stream from 31 March 2027. Councils still choose their own bins, colours and rotas.

South Holland bin questions

How do I find my bin collection day in South Holland?

Enter your postcode on this page to confirm that South Holland collects your bins, then use the South Holland bin day checker. Pick your address and it shows the next date for each bin. Copy those dates into our bin calendar to get reminders.

Do South Holland bin days change on bank holidays?

Many councils keep normal collection days on most bank holidays and only change around Christmas and New Year, while others move every collection in a bank holiday week by a day. South Holland publishes any changes on its website before each holiday. Our bank holiday page lists the dates for England and Wales.

What should I do if South Holland misses my bin?

Check your bin day first, as collections sometimes run late into the evening. If the rest of your street has been emptied and yours has not, report it on the South Holland website, usually within one or two working days. Leave the bin out unless the council says otherwise. Our missed bin guide explains what to expect.

Does South Holland collect food waste?

Under Simpler Recycling, councils in England must collect food waste every week from all households, free of charge, from 31 March 2026. A few councils were given a later start date, so check the South Holland website if you have not received a food caddy yet.

Where is the tip for South Holland?

Household waste recycling centres in South Holland are run by Lincolnshire County Council, not by South Holland. Many now ask you to book a slot, and vans and trailers may need a permit.

Bin Collection Day is independent and not run by South Holland District Council. Collection dates and services can change at short notice; the council's website is always the final word.
