Waste Strategy for Lincolnshire

The county council, the seven district councils and the Environment Agency together form the Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP).

The LWP’s vision is ‘to seek the best environmental option to provide innovative, customer-friendly waste management solutions that give value for money to Lincolnshire.’

Each year, around 360,000 tonnes of waste are dealt with by the LWP, most of which is household waste.

• Less than 5% went to landfill

In order to coordinate the services provided by each council, the LWP has a Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy (JMWMS).

The JMWMS can be viewed, together with its accompanying SEA Environmental Report and Post-adoption Statement, at any of the main council offices (addresses below), during normal office hours (9am- 4.30pm)
