Garden waste licences now available
Residents can now pay for their licence for the 2025 garden waste season.
A licence costs £49 for collections between March and early December. This provides a cost-effective way for residents to dispose of garden waste.
The licence covers one 240-litre wheelie bin to be emptied fortnightly. Anyone who wishes to have more than one bin emptied will need to pay for a licence for each additional bin. Residents can also pay for a licence at any time throughout the season but are encouraged to do so before the start of the service in March as the cost will remain the same.
Once paid, a licence pack should arrive within 14 days.
For more information about the garden waste service, including terms and conditions, and collection dates, please visit www.northyorks.gov.uk/garden-waste.
Sandbags
North Yorkshire Council is simplifying its approach to supporting communities who need access to sandbags during a flood incident.
From the beginning of October 2024 if a member of public requires access to sandbags they should Google Sandbags North Yorkshire. If there is an immediate need for sandbags then they can call 0300 131 2 131 and either say Sandbag when prompted or follow the instructions.
