Please put out your rubbish by 6am on the revised collection day. Hygiene and garden waste collections will also follow the revised schedule. Please recycle as much as possible and remember the three black bag limit.

To help ensure collections run smoothly over the Easter period, additional workers have been appointed following a recent recruitment drive.

Cllr Edward Thomas, Cabinet Member for Transport, Waste and Infrastructure Services, said:

We are committed to delivering a reliable waste collection service for residents, especially during busy periods such as Easter. Importantly, a big thank you to the staff who have agreed to work over the weekend to deliver the service. To support this, we have recently recruited additional staff to help maintain service levels and aim to minimise disruptions.

If you or someone you know is interested in joining our team, we are always looking for dedicated individuals to help keep our community clean and sustainable.

Although we aim to collect as scheduled, there may be localised disruptions which could change at short notice. Please keep an eye on our waste disruptions page for any updates.

The recycling centres in Trostre, Nantycaws, Wernddu, and Whitland will be open as usual over the Easter weekend. You can check their opening times here.

Thank you for recycling.
