HOW BRIGG FAMILIES CAN GET NEW WASTE COLLECTION BOXES AND BINS
It's some years now since North Lincolnshire Council introduced its range of bins and boxes so households can assist with meeeting the recycling targets. Our blue (newspaper) bin developed a big crack up one side. We contacted the council and they endeavoured to replace it free of charge inside five working days. And that's just what they did. Many other Brigg households will find themselves in a similar position. If yours is among them, just email WasteManagement@northlincs.gov.uk

.....slightly different story for me, Nige.
My bins also became cracked and worn - nipped down to the Link in the Angel - paid £3.50 for a bin (got 2)- the hop-skipped and jumped to the library - presented my bin receipt and was supplied with bin x 2 immediately.
No-one mentioned about free replacements - but personally, I wouldn't have argued the point - but some folks maybe unable to afford the dosh.
Could be it's a case of reasonable wear and tear to get a free one, Ken. Like yourself I wouldn't have argued too much about £3.50 in a good cause to help the recycling cause. But clearly all bins have a limited life. It would be interested to know whether the council has a rolling programme of replacing bins in different areas, say after 3 years. Coun Nige, I think, oversees recycling as part of his remit. Next time you or I see him we ought to inquire.
