All your waste collected on one day:

  • Weekly co-mingled dry recycling
  • Weekly kitchen waste recycling
  • The garden waste service (alternate weeks summer and ring and request over winter)
  • Black bag waste 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?

  • Implement service efficiencies
  • Work towards 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 now - drained aerosol cans, foil cleaned of food and/or chemicals and cartons.

What does this mean for you?

  • 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.
