With no collection of general waste (green/black) bins from Brigg homes next week, many of us may end up having to bag it ourselves and take it to the Household Recycling Centre near Broughton (Brigg Road - approach from Wressle).
It's closed on New Year's Day (today) but should be tomorrow, Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Personally I'd give Monday a miss - for although North Lincolnshire Council's website doesn't say the facility is closed, it is a bank holiday, after all. Better to choose another day - rather than load up the car and run the risk of finding the gates shut when you arrive. I might have a ride over myself tomorrow, with a load of bags, in which case Brigg Blog will inquire about Monday's opening hours and post a message accordingly.
Opening times at the skip site are 10am-4pm, and you can recycle:
Aluminium and steel drink cans
Aluminium foil
Books
Bric-a-brac
Car batteries
Cardboard
CDs and DVDs
Electrical items
Food and drink cartons
Food and pet food tins
Fridges and freezers
Glass bottles and jars
Green waste
Hazardous waste
Household batteries
Ink toner cartridges
Paper
Plastic bottles
Records

Those on the Wrawby side of Brigg may find the Household Recycling site a Melton Ross just as convenient.
Follow the A18, Turn right towards MR...just inside Melton Ross sign-post indicates side road on right to recycling site.
Along this side road there's usually a crowd of train-spotters with cameras and telescopes hiding in the hedges keen to spot a 'Grid'
from the bridge.
When you talk them, they're amazingly illelligent and they come from all parts of the country. One guy I spoke to last month came from Bristol and two others came from the Midlands.
They all seem to know of Scribs!!!
Chuffin' 'eck, Ken. Fame at last.
An Essex trainspotter once wrote to me (as compiler of Telegraph Trains magazine) about the joy of standing on Barnetby station on a still morning "listening to the grinding of the flanges and the straining of the couplings."
SOUNDS LIKE HE HAD A ONE-TRACK MIND!
Ha! Ha!
Your suggestion reminds me that some other countries don't have house to house refuse collections, but rather communal bins every couple of streets. It's a lot cheaper to run, and has the benefit that the council can do continuous pick-ups throughout the week and not have to let refuse stand.
Of course, it depends on people being willing and able to carry their refuse to the end of their streets. I know when I've lived in apartments it wasn't a problem, but those less physically able may need help, and I'm sure there are some folk who would find the backyard too tempting, sadly.
