City of York Council is reminding residents that an additional one off garden waste collection will take place this month between 19 and 30 January.
This will mean the council will be able to collect all the autumn waste and Christmas trees in green bins.
Please note that Christmas trees must be inside the bin, so please cut it up if necessary.
The green waste collection will take place on the same day as recyclables are scheduled to be collected.
Look up collections or download a 2015 rubbish and recycling calendar at www.york.gov.uk/refuselookup or call 01904 551551.
During the winter months residents can take additional garden waste to Hazel Court and Towthorpe Household Waste Recycling Centres free of charge in a car. Residents using larger vehicles or trailers will need to apply for permits to use the sites.
Home composting is also a great way to manage waste at home and provide nutrient rich compost for gardens. Visit www.getcomposting.com for further information or to purchase a reduced price home compost bin to get started.
Ahead of the new collection season in 2015, households with more than one green wheeled bin can sign up to the additional green bin scheme which operates during the usual garden waste season.
To join the scheme call 01904 551551 or ‘apply for it’ via our secure website at https://www.york.gov.uk/DoItOnline/
