Councils are warning you to be vigilant of "rogue" fly tippers, who offer services to dump rubbish for cash.
Three district councils are teaming up to warn you that you may be held responsible if your rubbish is found dumped somewhere other than at the tip.
South Holland, Boston and East Lindsey councils say they had to clear three thousand fly-tips last year.
Image source, NE Lincs CouncilQuote Message"Fly tipping affects us all - it's unsightly and sometimes the materials dumped can be dangerous and it costs us all to clean it up. Often we find that fly-tipped rubbish could have been disposed of for free at the tip or even collected by us as household waste or as recycled material.
Councillor Michael Brookes, Boston Borough Council

While the storm batters Ireland and western parts of the UK, it's circulated dust into the skies over Lincolnshire.
BBC Weather says it's due to "a mix of Saharan dust and debris from forest fires in Northern Spain and Portugal".

There may be an ongoing political debate about updating the Red Arrows' aircraft themselves, but this weekend they have returned from a tour of the Middle East.
The aerobatics team were on an 8000 mile journey to promote Great Britain as a tourist destination.
They've flown past the Kuwait Towers, the glitzy skylines of Qatar, and even the ancient city of Petra but the highlight of the tour must have been returning to the sight of Lincoln's Cathedral:

A campaign by BBC Radio Lincolnshire has helped train 15,859 people with life-saving skills.
The campaign is teaching people CPR, to help resuscitate people who've had a cardiac arrest.
Only a third of people are likely to give you CPR if you suffer from cardiac arrest in a public place.
For every minute which passes without a patient having CPR their chance of surviving drops by 10%.
BBC Radio Lincolnshire started the campaign after newsreader Charlotte Wright life was saved by passers-by who knew the skill.

Image source, Lincs PoliceThey spent a day at Silverstone racing track to learn with Playstation experts.
It's all to try and improve skills and safety, and don't worry, they did the training on their day off!
Quote MessageWe're not teaching them to drive, we're teaching them some techniques to push the limits of the car even further, but in a safe and controlled way. The game is so accurate with how a car behaves so we can really use the simulation to show them what their input, and what difference that makes on the cars.
