The first York households set for new wheelie bins are due to get them delivered next month ahead of a wider roll out over the summer.
York Council has begun writing to the 2,835 homes in the Micklegate and Heworth wards ahead of the delivery of bins from Monday, June 16.
Phase One of the Bags to Bins scheme is set to be followed by deliveries to almost 2,800 homes in Clifton, Fishergate, Guildhall and Holgate from Monday, August 4.
Council business manager for environmental services Rebecca Copley told councillors a third phase would look at deliveries to additional streets deemed harder to collect wheelie bins from.
It comes as the council’s Economy, Place, Access and Transport Committee was told the roll out was set to get underway following delays earlier this year.
Environmental services lead Ian Hoult told councillors competing budget priorities and issues with buying the bins had led to the delays.
