Skipton residents can now pay for their garden waste licence ahead of this year’s collections starting in March.
North Yorkshire Council is offering a licence for the 2025 season, which runs between March and early December, at a cost of £49.
The licence covers one 240-litre wheelie bin to be emptied fortnightly. Anyone who would like to have more than one bin emptied can pay for a licence for each additional bin.
Executive member for managing NYC environment, Cllr Greg White, said:
“Our garden waste collection service provides a cost-effective way of the disposal of garden waste.
"As the service starts in March, we are encouraging residents to get a licence in plenty of time.
“Although they can still pay for a licence at any time during the season, their collections will not start until their licence arrives and is displayed on their bin.”
When residents buy a licence, they will receive a licence pack within 14 days.

Residents who do not have enough garden waste for a fortnightly collection can compost at home or take it to Skipton HWRC.
