Never miss a East Lindsey bin day again

East Lindsey District Council collects bins across a large coastal and rural district of Lincolnshire, from Skegness and Mablethorpe to the Wolds market towns. Refuse and recycling are collected fortnightly, and East Lindsey uses the distinctive Lincolnshire purple-lidded bin to keep paper and card separate from the rest of your recycling.

How East Lindsey bin collections work

When your bin day changes it's easy to lose track of which container goes out — the black, the grey or the purple-lidded. My Bin Day sends you a friendly SMS the evening before every East Lindsey collection so the right bin is always at the kerb by the 5:30am deadline. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.

🖤
Black bin — general household rubbish that cannot be recycled (fortnightly)
Grey bin — mixed dry recycling: plastics, tins, cans, foil, glass bottles and jars (fortnightly)
🟣
Purple-lidded bin — clean, dry paper and cardboard only (fortnightly)
💚
Green bin — garden waste, paid subscription (around £55/year, April–March)

Common questions

When are bins collected in East Lindsey?

East Lindsey collects the black general waste bin and grey mixed-recycling bin on an alternating fortnightly cycle, with the purple-lidded paper and card bin collected alongside them. Food waste is not collected separately — it goes in your black bin. Garden waste is a paid subscription service (around £55 a year) running April to March.

How much does this cost?

My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.

Do you handle bank holidays?

Yes. We track East Lindsey's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.

Is this an official East Lindsey council service?

No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with East Lindsey or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
