Recycle For Selby District

Unfortunately we are unable to complete all of our scheduled green waste collections today due to delays at the disposal site. There are a small number of properties affected in the following areas:-
• between Parkways and Dane Croft on Westbourne Road
• Heather Close
• Honeysuckle Close
We will be returning to empty green waste bins in these areas on Monday 25th April.

Green waste collections will restart from next Monday 11th January and you’ll be able to put your Christmas trees out for collection on your scheduled green waste collection day. Just remove all the decorations, make sure it’s not larger than 1.8m (6ft) and that the trunk is less than 10cm (4 inches) thick. Real trees only please!

The collected trees will be taken to a network of local composting sites where they’ll be chipped, composted and spread back onto local farmland.

Waste collections will continue as scheduled in the district apart from in areas that we are unable to access due to flooding. Flooded areas will be visited once the water has receded, offering clean up support.

It's Christmas Jumper Day today but because our collection crews need to wear their high-viz protective clothing at all times they've donned their Christmas hats for charity instead. All the money raised has been donated to Macmillan Cancer Support. We think they look great!
