Waste and recycling officers continue their visits to East Riding libraries

Waste and recycling officers from East Riding of Yorkshire Council are continuing to visit a number of libraries over the next few weeks to offer advice and information to residents.

The officers will be setting up their stand at libraries across the East Riding throughout November and December – and will even be hopping on board some of the mobile libraries.

They will be on hand to speak to anyone with waste and recycling issues, answer their questions, and take requests for bins and kitchen caddies.

The waste and recycling officers near you will be at:

• Goole Library on Wednesday 15 November from 10am to 2pm.
• Pocklington Library on Tuesday 28 November from 9am to 1pm.

Councillor Symon Fraser, the council’s portfolio holder for strategic asset management, housing and environment, said: “These visits are a great opportunity for residents to come along and talk to our officers directly about all aspects of recycling and reducing waste.”

The council’s waste and recycling officers are also available, all year round, to do talks and presentations for community groups and schools in the area. Anyone wanting more details or to book can contact the team by email at wastewatchers@eastriding.gov.uk
