Community Reuse and Recycling
The YNYWP recognises the contribution made by the community sector in delivering reuse, recycling and composting activities. Community based schemes also provide employment, training and volunteering opportunities which contribute to the economy and social wellbeing of the area.
To find out more about the the community schemes in your area, please contact the Community Waste Management Officer at North Yorkshire County Council.
Community groups carrying out reuse activities across York and North Yorkshire can be found in our reuse section.
We may be able to provide funding to charities, voluntary and community groups for diverting waste and reusable goods from the waste stream through the provision of the Community Reuse Fund and in North Yorkshire, through the payment of reuse and recycling credits.
