Skipton residents are being reminded to purchase their garden waste collection licence ahead of the launch of the annual service in March.
North Yorkshire Council is offering a licence at a cost of £52 for the coming season, which runs between March and early December.
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.
Depending on where they live, some residents may be provided with an equivalent number of compostable sacks.
Executive member for managing our environment, Cllr Richard Foster, said:
“Having a garden waste licence allows residents to dispose of their waste in an easy and cost-effective way.
“We always encourage people to pay for it before the season starts.
“Although people can pay for a licence during the collection season, they will need to wait for their licence to arrive in the post and display it on the bin before collections can start.”
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 one of the 20 household waste recycling centres across North Yorkshire.
See more information about our waste recycling centres.
For residents covered by Bradford Council, details of its green bin collection can be found here.
