Trade waste collections:
Collections will take place as normal, unless written notification is received from the council.
Week beginning Monday 4 January 2016 – all waste and recycling collections will return to
the normal day.
Residents are being reminded of the need to recycle as much of their waste as possible to
reduce the amount being sent to landfill as well as help the council to achieve the strict
statutory recycling targets set by Welsh Government.
The community recycling sites are open all year round to enable residents to recycle their
waste, the household waste and recycling centres are closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day
and New Year’s Day.
Also attached is a poster detailing these arrangements which we’d be very grateful if you
could please put these up on noticeboards etc to inform residents in your communities.
A postcode search facility will be launched and made available on the website shortly which
will enable residents to view their refuse collection dates. Recycling dates will also be
provided on this facility in the near future.
Could you please pass this information onto your colleagues as soon as possible, especially
if you do not have a meeting scheduled for some time.
Kind regards
Mel
