Recycling service
Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC) provides a weekly kerbside-sort collections service for recycling. This means it collects recyclable materials in separate containers.
It collects:
- food waste every week, from a black caddy with green lid using caddy liners provided by the Council for free;
- dry recycling every week, from either a Trolibocs unit comprising three boxes, or reusable bags and a box, allowing residents to separate their:
- glass bottles and jars and cardboard,
- metal cans, tins, aerosols and foil, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, and food and drink cartons (such as Tetra Pak), and
- paper;
- glass bottles and jars and cardboard,
- household batteries every week, from a reusable white bag;
- small electrical items every two weeks, in single-use pink sacks;
- textiles every two weeks, in single-use purple sacks; and
- coffee pods every two weeks, in single-use green sacks.
CCBC also collects:
- absorbent hygiene products (AHP), such as disposable nappies and incontinence items, every week in single-use sacks from a caddy, from homes registered for this free service;
- garden waste every two weeks, from a 240-litre brown wheelie bin, from homes registered for this chargeable service; and
- non-recyclable waste every four weeks, from a 240-litre black wheelie bin.
