Newport

Newport City Council (NCC) 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;
   
• dry recycling every week,
   
  • from a green box for glass bottles and jars, and small electrical items,
     
  • from a reusable red bag for metal cans, tins, aerosols and foil, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, and food and drink cartons (such as Tetra Pak and crisp tubes), and
     
  • from a reusable blue bag for cardboard and paper; and
     
• clothing every week, in residents' own single-use plastic bags (to keep the textiles dry).

NCC also collects:

• nappy and hygiene waste every two weeks in single-use purple sacks, if residents have registered for this service;
   
• non-recyclable waste every three weeks from a black wheelie bin; and
   
• garden waste every three weeks between March and November, from a green wheelie bin with orange lid.

Residents can recycle batteries at the Household Waste Recycling Centre in Maesglas, Wastesavers Reuse Centre, and at local libraries, in partnership with ERP UK Ltd.

The Council provides a bulky household 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. Wastesavers Reuse Centre will also collect good quality furniture.

The Council manages one Household Waste Recycling Centre in the county. Residents must book an appointment before they visit the site.
