East Riding of Yorkshire Council is highlighting the help it gives to residents moving into new rented accommodation to know more about their bin collections and recycling.
The service, for tenants, letting agents and landlords, includes a range of assistance including visits from recycling officers, free information packs and access to the council site, www.eastriding.gov.uk
The council has 11,300 council homes and the 2011 census shows there are up to 17,800 privately rented properties in the East Riding.
Tenants, landlords and agents can also use the council’s recycling email address, wastewatchers@eastriding.gov.uk or can call (01482) 395586 for information about recycling matters, request blue and brown bins and food waste caddies and liners.
To arrange a free visit from a council recycling officer, email wastewatchers@eastriding.gov.uk.
Private housing landlords and letting agents are advised to let the recycling team know of a new tenancy at the same time as they notify the council tax team of a change of tenant.
