2.Waste and Recycling
Christmas Tree Disposal
 You can recycle Christmas trees, free of charge, at all household waste recycling centres. Real Christmas trees should be placed in the garden waste skip where they will be shredded and composted. If you are part of the garden waste collection service, you can chop up your Christmas tree and put it in your garden waste wheelie bin for collection in March when the service starts. Artificial Christmas trees can be placed in the small appliance, scrap metal or plastic reuse container, depending on what they are made of.
For more information, visit: Christmas trees | North Yorkshire Council

Greeting Cards Recycling
 You can recycle most greeting cards, such as Christmas and birthday cards, free of charge at all our household waste recycling centres. Greeting cards that are commercial waste can also be recycled for free at all our household waste recycling centres. Please remove glitter and embellishments from all cards.
For more information, visit: Greetings cards | North Yorkshire Council

Sandbags
North Yorkshire Council is simplifying its approach to supporting communities who need access to sandbags during a flood incident.
From the beginning of October 2024 if a member of public requires access to sandbags they should Google Sandbags North Yorkshire. If there is an immediate need for sandbags then they can call 0300 131 2 131 and either say Sandbag when prompted or follow the instructions.
