Garden Waste Collections

With Spring just around the corner Ryedale District Council will be resuming alternate week garden waste collections from Monday 1 March 2010. Garden waste, in your brown wheeled bin or bio bags, will be collected on the same day as your cans, glass and paper.

"Ryedale District Council has been running a pilot, collecting garden waste once per month over the winter period, " said Phil Long, Head of Environment. The success of the pilot will be assessed, looking at how much waste was collected in each of the winter months, as well as efficiency savings and reductions in CO₂ emissions. 

We would like to thank residents for their continued successful contribution to achieving a 53% level of recycling in the District. This is a fantastic achievement maintaining Ryedale's status as the top recycling area in the Yorkshire and Humber for the 5^th year running and amongst the best in the UK.

Your views are important to the Council and a customer feedback survey will be carried out to help us measure the impact and success of monthly garden waste collections. If you have any comments on the pilot, please email streetscene@ryedale.gov.uk or telephone (01653) 600666 ext 486.
