Residents can either purchase bins on the day of a sale or pre-order and pay in advance. We expect demand to be high and as stocks are limited we would recommend pre-ordering and paying in advance, to ensure availability.

Residents will be able to purchase two compost bins at the subsidised price. Compost bins are available to residents in York and North Yorkshire only and proof of address must be presented on the day. Bins must be collected on the day, with prices valid until the end of the sales. Residents unable to collect their compost bins at the one day sales will be automatically refunded the cost of the compost bin.
