Weekly kerbside recycling service

We collect plastic and cardboard one week, followed by paper, glass and cans the next.

 

Please place each type of clean material in a separate box or a carrier bag (where they already exist in the waste stream) and leave on your kerbside by 7am on your collection day and make sure it is clearly visible.fans recycling

 

Fortnightly garden waste collection

From April to November we collect garden waste  on the same day as your plastic and cardboard for recycling. Outside these date we run a ring & request service - please contact us below.

 

Local recycling banks

We have over 40 sites where you can take a range of materials for recycling, including: papers, tetra paks, cans, glass, plastics, textiles, foil and books.

 

Recycling Centres

There are two recycling centres in the Vale, one in Hayes Rd Sully, the other on Llandow Trading Estate. A wide variety of materials can be recycled at these sites but they can get very busy. (Generally weekday mornings tend to be their quieter times)
