A total of 25,000 new blue boxes for kerbside paper and cardboard recycling are being delivered to Ryedale households.
It comes as Ryedale District Council reveals more changes to its bin rounds.
Residents will continue to receive a fortnightly domestic waste and kerbside recycling collection service. But the council is making some changes to the collection routes and times to optimise efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint.
More 1,300 homes have already had their collection routes and times changed as part of phase one. Now, phase two is launching in February 2023, with around 1,700 properties affected.
The council is sending affected residents a postcard to provide them with details of their service change.
A new collection calendar will be online just before each change and citizens will be able to check their new dates here.
Schedule for the changes
