The Vale is one of only four councils in Wales that provides a
kerbside recycling service for 100% of households.
Fact
Around 85% of waste in an average
households' black needn't be there.
Our collection services include:
- 1. Weekly kerbside recycling
- 2. Fortnightly garden waste - gardening season
- 3. Recycling banks
- 4. Recycling centres
- 5. Kitchen waste
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.
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)
