Refuse and Recycling Collections during Adverse Weather
Selby District Council and Enterprise Managed Services are working hard to make sure refuse and recycling collections take place where possible during these adverse weather conditions.
Green waste collections will be suspended until further notice. This will allow us to utilise these vehicles on the refuse rounds to ensure as little disruption to this service as possible.
Kerbside box collections that we are unable to carry out today will be rolled over to Saturday. We will endeavour to carry out all other kerbside box collections as scheduled this week, weather permitting.
Some routes are hazardous and this will cause disruption to our services but as soon as it is possible crews will carry out collections. Residents are advised that they should continue to present bins or boxes where collections have been missed and they will be picked up as soon as possible.
If the adverse weather continues more information will be posted on this website.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Message from C.Cllr John McCartney.
Would be grateful if you could share this with your PC
members and anyone else that you think would be
interested.
Next Friday, 27th January, North Yorkshire's Scrutiny
of Health Committee will be discussing the current
overnight closure of the A&E and pontefract hospital.
Representatives of the Mid Yorkshire Hospital NHS Trust
will be in attendance. The paper that they have
produced for the meeting can be seen on the agenda at
NYCC's website.
This is a public meeting and residents who want to have
their say need to register three working days before
the meeting. That can be done by emailing their question or statement
on 01906 533218.
The Health Trust have recently issued their new five year clinical
strategy and one of the issues that they raise in that is the future
of the A&E at Pontefract which is worrying.
