RESIDENTS are to be asked for their views on the future of waste disposal.

The York and North Yorkshire Waste Management Partnership is about to begin a public consultation that will establish how residents think their waste should be managed.

In the coming weeks, residents will receive a questionnaire giving information about methods of disposal, including recycling and composting.

The partnership aims to recycle and compost between 50 and 55 per cent of household waste by 2013.
