A new household waste recycling centre (HWRC) registration scheme is now in operation across North Yorkshire.
The new registration system went live on Monday 27th April. For the first few weeks, North Yorkshire Council will be operating a soft launch, during which HWRC staff will hand out flyers and ask residents to register before their next visit. Registration is free, takes a couple of minutes, and lasts for three years.
Residents can register online and use the centres straight away. Nothing will be sent in the post, and staff will check number plates on arrival.
Owners of commercial-like vehicles (CLVs) will also be able to make up to 12 free visits per year to dispose of their own household waste once registered. This change is designed to prevent the council from inadvertently accepting commercial waste free of charge.
You can register to use the service by clicking on the following link to North Yorkshire Council's website:
