An eyewitness said that the centre, in James Street, is currently closed and two fire engines are at the site.
A spokeswoman for North Yorkshire Fire Service said: "Two fire engines are in attendance at an industrial skip on fire. Crews are using a hose reel jet to tackle the fire and are likely to remain at the scene for some time."
