It looks like the Councils leaflet explaining when waste will be collected has failed to reach many residents.
In some streets today the majority had put out recycling expecting it to be removed. (There is no waste collection this week).
Recycling put out for collection today
Perhaps as a result of difficulties with waste collection, the amount of litter on the streets seems to be increasing. We’ve reported several instances and organised a local clear up near the Foresters Walk ravine
Litter and leaf detritus Thoresby Road snicket
Litter Haddon Close snicket
Litter Cornlands park
NB. 1,512 York households have paid for an additional garden waste collection bin compared to a budgeted estimate of 3,500.
We have had reports that some residents have not yet received their new rubbish collection calendars.

Yorwaste have submitted a planning application to erect a waste transfer and recycling station at Harewood Whin
The station would be used to “bulk up” waste prior to it being transported to the new incinerator being built at Allerton Park
The applicant has agreed to unilaterally revoke earlier planning permissions for the erection of a composting operation in the southern section of the site and the erection of energy from Biomass Plant at the north western edge of the site.
51 objections to the plans have been lodged mainly by residents in the Rufforth area.
Most are concerned about the plants impact on the Green Belt.
The report, which will be considered by the Planning Committee next week, can be read here
NB The site was to have been used as a salvage and recycling centre under plans unveiled in 2011. It would have replaced the Beckfield Lane recycling centre. The Beckfield Lane site was later closed by the new Labour administration which chose to make no alternative recycling facilities available on the west of York.
City of York Council is sending households in York a new waste and recycling calendar for 2014/15.
From this week households across the city will start to receive their new calendar which outlines when collections are taking place between December 2014 and November 2015, including collections over the Christmas and New Year period.
The new calendars also provide tips and advice on what items can and can’t be recycled including paper/cardboard, glass, plastic bottles, cans/tins and if applicable garden waste.
The council also recently announced its decision to add a further garden waste collection in January to pick up out of season garden waste – to collect any remaining autumn waste and Christmas trees.
Flats, rural properties and city centre properties serviced by St Nicks recycling team will receive collection information in December. For any queries about the St Nicks recycling service in the city centre please go to http://www.stnicks.org.uk/ or telephone 01904 411821.
Residents are asked to ensure their bins or boxes are presented by 7am on the day of their collection, but no earlier than 7pm the evening before.
