Who collects what in North Yorkshire

North Yorkshire Council is a unitary council, so it handles both bin collections and the household waste recycling centres (the tips). One website covers your bin day, missed bins, garden waste, bulky waste and tip bookings.

Bank holidays and North Yorkshire bin days

Monday, 28 December 2026	Boxing Day (substitute day)
Friday, 1 January 2027	New Year's Day
Friday, 26 March 2027	Good Friday
Monday, 29 March 2027	Easter Monday

Christmas and New Year cause the biggest changes. See Christmas bin collections for what usually happens.

Recycling rules in England

Under Simpler Recycling, councils in England must collect the same core recycling from every home: paper and card, glass, metal, plastic (including cartons), food waste every week, and garden waste for households that ask and pay any charge. The rules applied from 31 March 2026, with plastic film and bags joining the plastic stream from 31 March 2027. Councils still choose their own bins, colours and rotas.

North Yorkshire bin questions

How do I find my bin collection day in North Yorkshire?

Enter your postcode on this page to confirm that North Yorkshire collects your bins, then use the North Yorkshire website. Pick your address and it shows the next date for each bin. Copy those dates into our bin calendar to get reminders.

Do North Yorkshire bin days change on bank holidays?

Many councils keep normal collection days on most bank holidays and only change around Christmas and New Year, while others move every collection in a bank holiday week by a day. North Yorkshire publishes any changes on its website before each holiday. Our bank holiday page lists the dates for England and Wales.

What should I do if North Yorkshire misses my bin?

Check your bin day first, as collections sometimes run late into the evening. If the rest of your street has been emptied and yours has not, report it on the North Yorkshire website, usually within one or two working days. Leave the bin out unless the council says otherwise. Our missed bin guide explains what to expect.

Does North Yorkshire collect food waste?

Under Simpler Recycling, councils in England must collect food waste every week from all households, free of charge, from 31 March 2026. A few councils were given a later start date, so check the North Yorkshire website if you have not received a food caddy yet.

Where is the tip for North Yorkshire?

North Yorkshire or its waste partnership runs the local household waste recycling centres. Many tips now need a booking, and vans and trailers may need a permit, so check before you go.

Which postcodes does North Yorkshire cover?

North Yorkshire collects bins in all or part of these postcode districts: BD20, BD22, BD23, BD24, DL2, DL6, DL7, DL8, DL9, DL10, DL11, DN6, DN14, HG1, HG2, HG3, HG4, HG5, LA2, LA6, LS17, LS21, LS22, LS24, LS25, LS29, TS8, TS9, TS13, TS15, WF8, WF11, YO7, YO8, YO11, YO12, YO13, YO14, YO17, YO18, YO19, YO21, YO22, YO23, YO25, YO26, YO30, YO41, YO51, YO60, YO61, YO62.
