The Authority’s household waste and recycling collections are currently continuing as normal.

The Council has also asked households to minimise the amount of waste for collection.

The Council’s Cabinet Member for the Environment, Cris Tomos, explained: “With pressure on services and our Waste and Recycling Centre’s temporarily closed, please avoid doing any big clear-outs at home or undertaking any DIY or garden projects which are likely to generate large amounts of waste.

“Please do not burn household waste at home. This creates air pollution that could harm people nearby who may already have breathing difficulties due to Covid-19. There is also the danger that fires could get out of control.”

Councillor Tomos added: “Remember to recycle as much you can by following guidance on the Council’s website and by condensing it down as much as possible.”
