Denbighshire

Denbighshire County Council (DCC) 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 an orange caddy using caddy liners provided by the Council for free; 
   
• dry recycling every week, from either a Trolibocs unit comprising three boxes, or reusable bags, allowing residents to separate their:
   
  • glass bottles and jars,
     
  • metal cans, tins, aerosols and foil, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, and food and drink cartons (such as Tetra Pak), and
     
  • paper;
     
• cardboard from a reusable blue bag;
   
• small electrical items every week, when residents place items loosely on top of their Trolibocs or one of their reusable bags; 
   
• household batteries every week, from a reusable pink pouch clipped onto their Trolibocs handle, or in a single-use plastic bag, tied securely, then placed on top of one of their reusable bags; and
   
• textiles every four weeks, in single-use white sacks. The sacks and service are provided by DCC's partner, Co-Options Social Enterprise.

DCC also collects:

• absorbent hygiene products (AHP), such as nappies and incontinence items, every week from a black caddy with purple lid, from homes registered for this free service;
   
• garden waste every two weeks, either from a 140-litre green wheelie bin or green dumpy sack(s), from homes registered for this chargeable service; and
   
• non-recyclable waste every four weeks, from either a 240-litre black or blue wheelie bin, or every week in a single-use pink sack. Residents using pink sacks may put out one filled sack each week. On their collection day, they present their sack inside a reusable black bag.

The Council provides a bulky item collections service for large items. To find out how much this service costs, or to book a collection, residents should visit the Council’s website.

The Council manages five permanent Recycling and Waste Parks. Residents must book an appointment before they visit a site. It also runs a Dee Valley residents' Pop-up Recycling Service that operates on the first four Saturday mornings of every month, alternating between Corwen and Llangollen. Denbighshire residents living in the Dee Valley may access this service.
