A series of recycling events are being held across the East Riding to highlight the message about the need to prevent waste and increase the use of the blue and brown bins.
The blue recycling bins are for paper, plastics, cans, glass and food and drink cartons. The brown bins are for garden waste and food waste, which are sent for composting.
