Never miss a South Kesteven bin day again

South Kesteven District Council covers Grantham, Stamford, Bourne, Market Deeping and the surrounding south Lincolnshire villages. It uses the distinctive Lincolnshire purple-lidded bin to keep paper and card separate, with refuse and recycling on a rotating fortnightly cycle.

How South Kesteven bin collections work

South Kesteven runs three bins in rotation — black, silver and purple-lidded — plus a paid green garden bin. It's easy to send the wrong one out. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right bin goes out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime. This information was correct at the time of writing; the council has proposals to change its collection schedule currently under review, so your service may be updated in future.

Common questions

When are bins collected in South Kesteven?

South Kesteven collects the black general-waste bin every fortnight, with the silver mixed-recycling bin and the purple-lidded paper and card bin collected on the alternating weeks. The silver bin takes plastics, glass and cans; the purple-lidded bin is clean paper and card only. Garden waste is a paid subscription (green bin, fortnightly). Weekly food waste collections are being introduced across Lincolnshire during 2026. Lincolnshire County Council handles disposal.

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 South Kesteven'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 South Kesteven council service?

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