Resident's Pass for household waste recycling sites (tips)

A Resident’s Pass is free, and can be used to access our Household Waste Recycling Sites (tips) when using a normal household vehicle.

How to get your Resident's Pass

2026/2027 pass

Your pass for 2026/27 is included in the council tax mailing for all residents who receive a paper council tax bill. Residents will receive their council tax bills during March 2026.

This pass is valid until 31 March 2027.

If you receive an online bill, find out how to get your Resident's Pass.

Using the Resident's Pass

To visit a household waste recycling site, you need to prove you live in the East Riding.

This can be done in one of 2 ways:

Display your Resident's Pass

Display your Resident's Pass in the front windscreen or on the dashboard of your vehicle.

Provide an alternative form of ID

If you do not have a Resident's Pass, you can prove you are an East Riding resident with any of the following forms of ID:

  • valid driving licence with your East Riding address on it
  • utility bill, such as a gas or water bill, showing your East Riding address (dated within the last 3 months)
  • council tax bill (dated within the last 12 months)
  • bank statement (dated within the last 3 months).

If you do not have a paper copy of a document we will accept proof of residency on a phone or tablet.

You will be refused entry to the site if you do not have valid proof.

Replacement or new passes

You may not have a Resident's Pass for a number of reasons:

  • you have lost it
  • you never received it
  • you are a new resident
  • it has expired and you didn't receive a new one
  • you pay your council tax online, therefore didn't get one sent in the post with your bill.

You can get a new pass at any Household Waste Recycling Site

You can get a new pass from April 2026 by taking an alternative form of ID to any of our Household Waste Recycling Sites, and asking for a new pass.

Alternatively, you can just take an alternative form of ID every time you visit.

Moving house

If you move to another address in East Riding, you can take your Resident's Pass with you and continue to use it at your new address.

If you move to an address outside the East Riding area, please leave your Resident's Pass at your old home so it is available for the new residents to use.
