York Resilience Web gives a good collection of connections.
Recycling
The City of York Council website has information on what they’ll collect, when and how (including bank holidays), and information about the tips. NB cars now need to book a slot when going to the tip at Hazel Court, although bikes do not – nor do you need to book at Towthorpe/Strensall.
Food projects
Edible York generously gave us our fruit bushes when we got started – and they have info on their website about other growing projects in York.
Planet Food offers surplus food on a pay-as-you-feel/pay-as-you-can basis, every Thursday at Southlands Methodist Church.
Other York-based environmental organisations
St Nicks (St Nicholas Fields), environmental centre and nature reserve – a lot of very useful info on their website
Scarcroft and District Allotments Association have lots of useful information on their site.
Poesis: a community space where people come together to explore what it means to be human during this time of profound planetary change. Events and talks.
