Need more bags for
kitchen waste recycling scheme?
How to let us know
If you have five bags or less left on your roll, simply tie
one of these bags or a scrap of material around the handle of your
kerbside caddy on your usual kitchen waste collection day. Our
crew, once they've emptied your caddy, will pop a roll in to
replenish your supply.
Please note our crew can only carry a limited supply on board,
so it's best not to be down to your last bag before you tie one on
the handle.
Only biodegradable corn-starched bags will do
If you are running/have run out of bags, please first consider
if you are wasting too much food, this would reduce
the amount of bags you need. If you do want to buy your own, please
only buy corn-starched biodegradable ones; a lot
of supermarket alternatives contain some plastic content and
could contaminate.

Is there anything else I can use in an emergency?
Yes, re-use old newspaper; this will biodegrade naturally and
will not cause contamination. Our corn-starched bags help eliminate
odours; newspaper, if wrapped well, will work in the same way.
Need a complete kitchen waste kit?
Then you can collect one from the Civic Office in Barry or the
Alps office in Wenvoe
