Craven District Council have some useful information regarding recycling over the Christmas period, including what can and can’t be recycled using the Council’s kerbside recycling service (blue bin) – and also helpful tips to reduce waste.

The information includes the collection of extra recycling that won’t fit in the blue bins over the Christmas period. It needs to be placed in clear plastic sacks. These can be collected from the Paper Shop in Embsay as well as from the Council’s reception at Belle Vue Square, Broughton Road, Skipton.
