Changes to waste collections over the May Day Bank Holiday Period

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 Bank Holiday period, additional casual staff have been appointed following a recent recruitment drive.

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

We are committed to providing a reliable waste collection service for our residents, even during busy times like the May Day Bank Holiday. Following the successful waste collections over the Easter Holidays, we’re working hard to ensure the same reliable service for the next Bank Holiday. Finally, I would like to extend my gratitude to the hardworking teams who volunteer to deliver our services during bank holidays.

Although we aim to collect as scheduled, there may be localised disruptions that could change at short notice. To help avoid collection disruptions and ensure the safety of everyone in our community, please park responsibly to ensure waste collection vehicles can pass safely.

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 Bank Holiday weekend. You can check their opening times here.

Thank you for recycling.
