South Holland’s bin service is changing

If you’re in Deeping St Nicholas, South Holland District Council is replacing black and green sacks with wheelie bins. New bins are being delivered from August 2026, but the sack collection continues as normal until the new service starts on Monday 9 November 2026. Households will be sent a confirmed collection calendar directly by the council. Do not assume the new bins are in use just because they have arrived.

About South Kesteven’s bin system

This covers Market Deeping, Deeping St James, West Deeping, and the nearby villages of Tallington, Langtoft and Baston. South Kesteven runs a repeating four-week collection cycle. Your exact starting week depends on your address, so use the postcode tool above or the official checker before putting a bin out.

Week 1 Black bin General household waste
Week 2 Silver bin Clean, dry mixed recycling
Week 3 Black bin General household waste
Week 4 Purple-lidded bin Clean paper and card
Every week Food-waste caddy Collected weekly on the same normal collection day

This cycle is a general guide only. Different properties can be at different points in the four-week pattern, so it does not tell you which bin is due this week for your address.
