Latest waste service update – Friday 5 June

“All scheduled household waste collections have been made. We also collected outstanding missed household waste from the Usher Lane area in Haxby.

We were unable to collect recycling from properties in the following areas due to operating under COVID-19 restrictions:

This recycling will be collected on Saturday 6 June or Sunday 7 June. Please present your containers for collection by 7.00am.

All other outstanding missed recycling from this week has now been collected.

We were unable to collect garden waste from Holgate (Poppleton Road Area) due to a vehicle breakdown.

We’ve collected missed garden waste from New Earswick, apart from Acacia Avenue, Hawthorn Terrace North and Woodland Place which we will recollect on Saturday 6 June. Please present your containers for collection by 7.00am.
