North Yorkshire brought seven former district councils — Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough, Selby and Craven — together in 2023, and the county is still harmonising its bins. That means the exact bins, colours and recycling setup can differ depending on which part of North Yorkshire you live in, which trips up a lot of people — especially anyone who's moved between areas.
Across most of North Yorkshire, recycling and general (non-recyclable) waste are each collected fortnightly, alternating week to week, with garden waste run as a paid annual subscription. The bin colours and recycling containers vary by area as the county harmonises — some parts separate paper and card from other recycling, others don't yet. Bins should be at the kerbside by 6am on your collection day. Rather than expecting you to work out which system your street is on, My Bin Day reads the schedule for your exact address and tells you what to put out.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from North Yorkshire. You can also check the council's own page at northyorks.gov.uk.
Across most of North Yorkshire, recycling and general waste are each collected fortnightly on alternating weeks, and garden waste runs as a paid subscription. Because the county is still harmonising after the 2023 merger, the exact bins and day depend on your address — My Bin Day reads your council schedule and texts you the evening before each collection so you never have to work it out.
