Brown bins

The brown bin is for the recycling of garden waste.

All households in the East Riding should have the opportunity to have a brown bin for garden waste by the end of 2009.

The announcement of the roll out was made by East Riding of Yorkshire Council in July 2008. It followed the success of the trial held across 20,000 households in Driffield and Haltemprice.
