Carmarthenshire County Council is reminding residents to check their recycling and waste collection dates ahead of the May bank holiday on Monday 4 May.

All collections will take place one day later than usual next week.

Here’s when your bins will be collected:

Tuesday 5 May	Wednesday 6 May
Wednesday 6 May	Thursday 7 May
Thursday 7 May	Friday 8 May

Collections for hygiene and nappy waste and garden waste will also follow the revised schedule.

Put your bins out by 6am on your revised collection day. Remember the three black bag limit and wash and squash your recycling.

Sign up for free email or text reminders for your recycling and black bag collections here.

Any service disruptions will be published on the council website after 2pm on the day of collection. Residents are encouraged to check for the latest updates before reporting a missed collection.

Residents are also encouraged to share this information with family members, friends or neighbours who may rely on others for updates and information.

All household waste recycling centres will be open as usual over the bank holiday weekend. Check their opening times here.
