All vehicles entering East Riding household recycling sites will soon be required to display a resident’s pass to gain entry.
From October 1, all cars entering recycling sites across our region will need to display a pass proving residence in the East Riding in order to use the facility. The passes are being introduced to ensure that recycling sites in the county are only used by East Riding residents, which aims to help reduce queueing at some sites.
Every household in the East Riding will receive their household pass in the post by August 16, advising of the changes to waste collection dates. The passes are provided free of charge, and can be used for any of the ten East Riding waste recycling sites including Airmyn tip.
Councillor Chris Matthews, portfolio holder for environment and climate change at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “The introduction of these resident’s passes will ensure that East Riding residents are getting full use of the waste and recycling facilities available to them. “Residents in the East Riding do a fantastic job with their recycling which is there for everyone to see when the recycling league tables are released each year.” He added: “I would encourage all residents to keep an eye out for their passes through the post during the months of July and August in preparation for this change at the beginning of October.” If a pass is not displayed within a vehicle, a valid driving licence or utility bill will be requested to prove residency in the East Riding, with non-East Riding residents being turned away. Passes will not be replaced if they are lost or damaged and if residents do misplace their pass they can use an up-to-date driving licence or utility bill displaying an East Riding address instead. All passes will be renewed before the planned expiry date of December 2022. The resident’s pass only allows access for residents in a car, anyone wishing to take a van or trailer over 6ft x 4ft on site needs to apply for a permit online at www.eastriding.gov.uk /hwrs-permits For further details on the new passes visit: www.eastriding.gov.uk /residentpass
Residents in the East Riding will soon be required to display a residents permit in order to access household recycling sites. (08-07-54 SU)
