Recycling

The Government wants to reduce the use of landfill sites and has set tough targets for councils to save the environment and our natural resources. In the Harrogate District, we met our 21% target for 2005/06 and are striving to improve in future years.

To meet these targets the Council will need to build on the established network of bring recycling centres and kerbside recycling schemes.

There are facilities in the Harrogate District for the public to recycle:

  • Glass bottles and jars
  • Newspapers and magazines
  • Mixed cans
  • Junk mail
  • Books
  • Textiles, including shoes
  • Plastic bottles
