Date for tips booking system after traffic jams
BBCA booking system for Lincolnshire's recycling centres will go live in November, the council has said.
Lincolnshire County Council said it hoped the new system would deal with queues at the county's 11 tips and tackle misuse of the facilities.
The authority said people would be able to book on the day, with alternative booking options available for residents who are unable to access digital services.
Danny Brookes, the council's executive for the environment, said the system would "reduce congestion, improve site safety, tackle misuse by non-residents and commercial operators, and support better recycling performance".
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the council said the amount of waste had increased by 50% since 2021 and the centres now received more than 1.2 million visits per year.
People have faced long delays because of queuing traffic at some of the centres, which has also impacted access to businesses in the area.
Brookes said local authorities operating similar systems did not show an increase in fly-tipping.
"We will continue to monitor Lincolnshire's own data following implementation and respond if any evidence of an adverse impact emerges," he said.
Brookes is due to provide a further update at a council meeting on 18 September.
