New fleet set to simplify recycling in North Lincolnshire

North Lincolnshire Council has invested in nine new refuse vehicles to support the launch of a streamlined recycling system. The modern 26-tonne trucks will replace older models and maintain weekly collections for around 76,500 households and more than 1,200 businesses.

From April next year, households will see their bins reduced from five to three, alongside the introduction of weekly food waste collections. The changes are designed to make recycling easier and more reliable for residents, while also improving efficiency for the council.

The vehicles are equipped with Euro VI engines, cutting emissions and improving fuel efficiency. This upgrade is expected to reduce running and maintenance costs, while keeping collections consistent.

As part of the investment, the council plans to sell off the older vehicles, with proceeds reinvested into local services. The procurement process also encourages bids from local suppliers to ensure the wider economy benefits from the project.

The move forms part of a multi-million-pound programme to deliver a simpler, more accessible recycling system across the region.
