Recycling service
Neath Port Talbot Council (NPTC) 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 reusable black box (without a lid) for glass bottles and jars,
- from a reusable white bag (white bag 1) for metal cans, tins, aerosols and foil, and plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays,
- from a reusable white bag (white bag 2) for cardboard and food and drink cartons (such as Tetra Pak),
- from a reusable black box (with a lid) for paper, and
- from a reusable small white bag for household batteries.
- from a reusable black box (without a lid) for glass bottles and jars,
NPTC also collects:
- disposable nappy and incontinence waste every two weeks in single-use purple sacks, from homes registered for this free service;
- garden waste every two weeks from a reusable green bag(s); and
- non-recyclable waste every two weeks from a black wheelie bin or up to three single-use black sacks.
