Flintshire

Flintshire County Council (FCC) 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 green caddy using caddy liners provided by the Council for free; and
   
• dry recycling every week:
   
  • from a blue box for glass bottles and jars,
     
  • from a reusable silver bag for metal cans, tins, aerosols and foil, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, and food and drink cartons (such as Tetra Pak),
     
  • from a reusable blue bag for cardboard and paper, and
     
  • household batteries, in a clear single-use plastic bag, or from a reusable plastic tub or any other container that makes it clear to crews that it contains batteries to be collected.

FCC also collects:

• nappies and absorbent hygiene products (AHP) every week, from a reusable orange box, if residents have registered for this service; 
   
• garden waste every two weeks between March and mid-December from a brown bin, if residents have subscribed to the chargeable service; and
   
• non-recyclable waste every two weeks from a black bin.

The Council provides a bulky waste 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.

There are five Household Recycling Centres in the county. To find out if they need to book an appointment before they visit a site, residents should visit the Council's website.
