From next week residents will receive a new winter timetable from City of York Council which outlines the changes to garden waste collections between November and March 2013.

Residents with a garden waste collection will receive a new calendar attached to their grey (rubbish) bin and are advised to refer to their collection calendars to find out what their arrangements are over the winter months as collections will be less frequent during this time.

The new calander also includes information about rubbish and recycling collections over the Christmas and New Year period.

Other households without a garden waste collection will be notified about the Christmas waste collections later in November

For more information about changes to the garden waste collections over the winter period visit www.york.gov.uk/waste/

Anyone can check their rubbish, recycling and garden waste collection dates using the online postcode checker at: www.york.gov.uk/waste/household/

If residents have not received a copy of their calendar by November please email ycc@york.gov.uk or contact Smarter York at the York Customer centre on 01904 551551 (between 8.30am to 7pm weekdays.)
