Green bin charges start in the Selby District

Residents are being encouraged to sign up to the controversial new subscription service for garden waste collections in the Selby District.

Householders can opt-in to the service, with the first paid-for collection starting on August 28.

Residents will initially pay £29 from September 2023 to March 2024 as the charge is being introduced part-way through the year.

Last month, North Yorkshire Council’s executive members voted to harmonise the garden waste collection services across the county, after reviewing the findings of a public consultation.

North Yorkshire Council’s corporate director of environment, Karl Battersby, said: “Residents in other areas of North Yorkshire already pay a separate charge, as the county’s former borough and district councils offered differing garden waste collections. We have benchmarked the charge across Yorkshire and Humber and the rate is in-line.

“Standardising our approach will allow those who use it to opt-in to a service that pays for itself.

When customers sign up, they will receive a licence sticker through the post which should be fixed to the back of their green wheelie bin between the handles.

The garden waste collection subscription service is an opt-in service. Residents will only need to contact the council if they want to sign-up.

Householders are urged to hold onto their bins in case they sign up to the service at a later date. Bins can also be reused for storage, as a water butt or as a compost bin.

Residents can also share a garden waste bin subscription with a neighbour. One resident will have to arrange to subscribe to the service and the council will only empty the bin from the registered address. Residents will need to agree payment of the subscription between themselves.

To access the online subscription form, visit North Yorkshire Council’s website at www.northyorks.gov.uk/sel-gardenwaste
