Unsure if you can recycle wrapping paper, or when the recycling depots are open? Read the article for more details.

Waste and recycling centres in the Harrogate district will be open every day over the festive period except Christmas Day, Boxing Day, December 30 and New Year's Day.

The North Yorkshire County Council household waste recycling centres on Wetherby Road and Pennypot Lane in Harrogate, and Dallamires Crescent in Ripon will be open from 8.30am to 4pm.

The centres accept discarded electrical goods, Christmas packaging, broken Christmas lights, household batteries and Christmas trees.

Good reusable toys can be donated to the Reuse Santa appeal within the reuse containers at the recycling centres. Toys will go to the No Wrong Door campaign and other charities.

Wrapping paper that passes the scrunch test (if you scrunch the paper in your hand and it stays in a ball) can be put in blue recycling bags for kerbside collection. Check collection dates over the holiday period.

North Yorkshire County Council's household waste recycling centres in the district are managed on the council's behalf by private firm Yorwaste.

County Councillor Andrew Lee, executive member for business and environmental services, said:

"Working together, the county council and Yorwaste are continuing to give residents the opportunity to recycle as much as they can over this Christmas period."
