Co-mingled recycling
*NEW* WATCH OUR CO-MINGLED
RECYCLING VIDEO CREATED BY STAFF FOR RESIDENTS
All your waste collected on one day:
- Weekly co-mingled dry recycling
- Weekly kitchen waste recycling
- The garden waste service is running now; bags will be
collected on alternate weeks with your black bin bag.
- Black bag waste will still be on alternate weeks and is
destined for landfill.
Simply leave out the container on your designated collection day
by 7am. We kindly ask that you help with anti-contamination;
here's how.
Confused about what can and can't be
recycled?
Co-mingled
dry recycling allows us to:
- Implement service efficiencies.
- Work towards ambitious Welsh Government (WG) recycling
targets.
- Reduce our landfill and associated costs.
- Adhere to the WG’s ‘Towards Zero Waste’ strategy.
- Consider including more materials in dry recycling kerbside
collections in future.
- Add even more products: cartons, drained aerosols
and foil that has not been contaminated by food/drink or
chemicals.
What does this mean for you?
- It is even easier for you to recycle
conveniently at home.
- Most residents benefit from an 'all on one
day' collection.
- Reduced recycling storage problems.
- We need you to be even more committed to
reducing recycling contamination, to ensure minimum rejection at
our contractor’s sorting facilities.
- We ask you to use approved containers where possible. For
example, leaving recycling, garden or food waste in black bags
means it will be sent to landfill, and leaving bags other than
refuse and recycling out on your waste management day will cause
confusion.
