Waste and population in Craven

Craven District Council serves a population of around 58,000 people across a predominantly rural area in North Yorkshire, including towns such as Skipton, Settle, and Ingleton. The district is characterised by small market towns, villages, and large areas of countryside within the Yorkshire Dales.

The district generates tens of thousands of tonnes of household waste each year, typically in the region of 20,000–30,000 tonnes across general refuse, recycling, and garden waste collections. Waste levels reflect the relatively low population density and rural nature of the area.

Waste output is influenced by tourism and holiday accommodation, particularly in popular areas of the Dales. Seasonal visitor activity can lead to noticeable increases in waste generation, especially during peak travel periods.
