"Ring and request" garden waste collection service during winter months
The Vale of Glamorgan Council is reminding residents that
fortnightly kerbside collections of garden waste stop from the end
of October.
The service will operate on a ‘ring and request’ basis from 5
November to 28 March. Please call 029 2067 3000 if you need a
collection during this time.
Head of Visible Services Miles Punter explained. “As there is a
greatly reduced demand for the service during the winter months, it
is not cost effective over this period to provide it via a
scheduled collection round. We, therefore, ask residents to contact
us to arrange a collection. In addition to helping save time and
money, this will also reduce our impact on the local
environment.”
If residents would like to use the service during this time,
biodegradable bags can be bought from the council offices in
Cowbridge, Llantiwt Major, Barry (Civic and The Docks), The Alps,
Wenvoe, and Penarth priced three for £1.
Garden waste can also be composted at home. Discounted compost
bins are available to all Vale residents priced from £10. Please
call 01884 841 515 for details.
