We have started to send recycling information packs to all households in the East Riding which tells you when your bins will be collected.

Some residents are moving to weekly brown bin collections. When weekly brown bin collections begin in your area, your blue and green bin collection days will also change — but they will still be collected fortnightly. If you haven't changed to weekly brown bin collections this year, then you will swap to weekly collections next year. Find out when your brown bin collections will change to weekly here: https://orlo.uk/g9P0o

If you have the East Riding app you will automatically be notified when to put your bin out for collection.
