Recycling service
Monmouthshire County Council (MCC) 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 blue caddy using caddy liners provided by the Council for free; and
- dry recycling every week,
- from a reusable green box for glass bottles and jars,
- from a reusable purple bag for metal cans, tins, aerosols and foil, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, and food and drink cartons (such as Tetra Pak), and
- from a reusable red bag for cardboard and paper.
- from a reusable green box for glass bottles and jars,
MCC also collects:
- nappies and hygiene waste every two weeks in single-use yellow sacks. Residents don't need to register for this free service and may collect yellow sacks from their local Community Hub;
- garden waste every two weeks between March and December from a green wheelie bin, from homes registered for this chargeable service; and
- non-recyclable waste every two weeks in up to two single-use black sacks.
