Green wheelie bins in the Driffield area will be emptied once every two weeks from May 7 - a move which affects around 10,000 resdients.
Households will receive letters in early May from East Riding of Yorkshire Council explaining how the blue recycling bins and green landfill bins will be emptied fortnightly.
The new collections will also include households in Kilham, Langtoft, Middleton on the Wolds, Nafferton, Wetwang, North Frodingham and the surrounding villages.
Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environment, housing and planning, said: “This new service is in response to the requests by so many residents to be able to recycle more in their blue bins.
“We have put in place a programme of support to help those residents who may have a question about how it will work for them. This includes the council’s recycling officers knocking on doors in the area, advising on what to put in the bins and giving tips on preventing waste, which can save money for the householder.
“We also have set up a telephone hotline number, 01482 395586, for residents to call if they have a question and there is a dedicated email address, wastewatchers@eastriding.gov.uk.
“With the early May letters there also is an information pack and new bin calendars. For residents who like to be reminded when to put out their bins we have a new text service and details are included in the pack.”
The phased roll out of the new service across the entire East Riding will take up to the end of the year.
Currently the council collects the blue recycling bins every four weeks and the green landfill bins every week. The brown bins for composting are emptied every fortnight.
