How to get rid of your rubbish

26/3/2020

During the Coronavirus outbreak, as most readers will know, our rubbish collection service has changed.

We have just received a lengthy press release from Cardiff Council (you can find it at the foot of this page).

Basically, it announces that we are now moving to a weekly collection of our black wheelie bins.

You now need to add your food waste to that wheelie bin (the brown food caddies will no longer be collected).

You also need to add any hygiene waste (nappies/medical waste etc) into your black wheelie bin.

Your green recycling bags should also be put out weekly alongside your black wheelie bin - with items rinsed to rid them of food residue etc.

Our collections will take place on Mondays, as usual.

Green recycling bags are available at the Central Library Hub and Ely Hub. They can also be ordered online here.

Bulky waste collections and green garden waste collections will not take place until the Coronavirus emergency is over. We must all build compost heaps!

Cardiff Council is also asking us to wipe down our bin handles with disinfectant for the safety of both ourselves and their staff.
