Harrogate district garden waste licences now available
Residents in the Harrogate district can now apply for their annual garden waste collections.
However, the cost of the service has risen again. A licence for the 2024 season, which provides collections between March and early December, costs £46.50.
This is a 7% increase on the £43.50 paid by Harrogate district residents paid last year.
The service has been standardised by North Yorkshire Council to ensure everyone receives the same service across the county. Garden waste is a discretionary service, which councils are not legally required to provide.
The licence covers one 240-litre wheelie bin to be emptied fortnightly. Any additional bins need their own licence.

Residents who buy a licence should receive a licence pack within 14 days. For more information, click here.
