As the festive season wraps up and you start the new year with a clear-out, it’s essential to think about how to dispose of your waste responsibly.
What You Need to Know
If you’re hiring someone to collect and dispose of your waste, always check they are a registered waste carrier. Failing to do so could mean your waste ends up being fly-tipped, and you might be held responsible.
You can quickly verify a waste carrier's credentials on the Environment Agency's website:

Why It Matters
Improper disposal of waste harms our environment and can lead to hefty fines for everyone involved. Let’s keep Ruskington clean and green by ensuring waste is disposed of legally and responsibly.
Top Tips for Waste Disposal:
- Reuse and Recycle: Can your items be reused or donated instead of thrown away?
- Check the Register: Only use Environment Agency-registered waste carriers.
- Visit Local Facilities: Use North Kesteven District Council’s recycling and waste centres for safe disposal.
Together, we can protect our beautiful village and make a positive start to the new year.
