Household waste - special collections for large items
If you have bulky furniture items that you think are in good
condition and which may be useful to someone else, there
are community organisations which may, depending on where you
live, come and collect from your house.

Interested in setting up a waste exchange
event?
Community groups in Ryedale have already run
successful ‘Give or Take’ day events in Kirkbymoorside and Malton.
‘Give or Take’ days are community waste exchange events, giving the
chance for people to pass on unwanted household items, such as
bric-a-brac or furniture, and for others to pick up something they
really need. And it’s all for FREE! 
Give or Take Days offer an exciting
opportunity for people to have a clear out of household items
cluttering up their home or garage, and provides others the chance
to pick up items they need. Most people have something they would
be happy to donate and there is usually no shortage of items.
The events also offer those on low incomes,
or tight household budgets, a chance to pick up household items
they need. By exchanging goods we can all save a bit of money.
It’s fun for all the family and you never
know, you might find something that you have always been looking
for – for free!
If you need more information about how to set
up your own ‘Give or Take ‘day email Streetscene or
telephone (01653) 600666.
