Refuse - litter removal
The cleanliness of the adopted roads and footpaths throughout
the district is the responsibility of Ryedale District
Council.
One mechanical sweeper coversg 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 and the removal of weeds from roads and
footpaths is the responsibility of North Yorkshire County
Council.
