Street cleaning programme
The cleanliness of the adopted roads and footpaths throughout
the district is the responsibility of Ryedale District
Council.
Ryedale District Council has one mechanical sweeper covering
all 550 square miles of the District and the demands on its time
are considerable. The sweeper follows a 33 working day schedule but
may be diverted at any time to areas of urgent need such as, for
example, following a road accident. North Yorkshire County
Council may request the sweeper attends to any area where they
consider there is a hazard to motorists.
There are also six street cleaning operatives following
schedules that concentrate on the main centres and radiate out into
the countryside. They litterpick the footways and streets in the
market towns, empty litter and dog waste bins, and collect refuse
from some properties and businesses.
The maintenance of roads and footpaths and the removal of
weeds from them is the responsibility of North Yorkshire County
Council.
