Gwynedd

Cyngor Gwynedd (CG) 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 brown caddy using caddy liners provided by the Council for free; and
   
• dry recycling every week, from either a Trolibocs unit comprising three boxes, or a set of reusable blue boxes, 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
  • cardboard and paper.

CG also collects:

• nappies every week in yellow single-use sacks, from homes registered for this free service;
   
• garden waste every two weeks, from a brown wheelie bin, from homes registered for this chargeable service; and
   
• non-recyclable waste every three weeks, from either a green wheelie bin or in up to three single-use black sacks.

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.

The Council manages eight Recycling Centres. Residents must book an appointment before they visit a site.
