2025 garden waste season

Bags to Bins Scheme
We're changing the way that household waste is collected at a number of properties in York, moving from black sacks to wheelie bin collections.
About 5,500 properties will be included in the move from bags to bins. We'll write to all affected properties directly with full details of the upcoming changes.
