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 on Monday 25 May. Check their opening times here.

Carmarthenshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport, Waste and Infrastructure Services, Cllr Edward Thomas, said:

Bank holidays can sometimes cause confusion around bin collection days, so I’d encourage residents to take a moment to check the revised schedule and put their bins out on the correct day. By remembering the three black bag limit as well as washing and squashing recycling, we can help keep collections running smoothly for everyone.”
