City of Lincoln Council collects bins across the Lincolnshire cathedral city. Watch the colour scheme: here the brown bin is for recycling, not garden waste. Refuse and recycling alternate fortnightly, and a free weekly food waste service launched on 30 March 2026.
Lincoln's brown bin is for recycling, not garden waste — an easy one to get wrong. Between that, the black refuse bin, the new food caddy and a paid green garden bin, My Bin Day keeps you right with a text the evening before each collection. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Lincoln. You can also check the council's own page at lincoln.gov.uk.
Lincoln collects the black general-waste bin and the brown recycling bin on alternating fortnightly weeks, with a free weekly food waste caddy (black with orange lid) introduced on 30 March 2026. Note the colours: brown is the recycling bin here, and the green bin is for garden waste only (a paid subscription, fortnightly). Lincolnshire County Council handles disposal.
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.

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