Pembrokeshire

Pembrokeshire County Council (PCC) 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 green box for glass bottles and jars;

  • 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);

  • from a reusable blue bag for cardboard; and

  • from a blue box for paper.

Residents may also recycle:

• small electrical items by placing them loosely on top of one of their recycling containers; and
   
• household batteries by putting them in a clear single-use plastic bag, tying it securely, then placing it on top of one of their recycling containers; and
   
• e-cigarettes and vapes by putting them in a clear single-use plastic bag, tying it securely, then placing it on top of one of their recycling containers.

Residents should use different plastic bags to present their household batteries and their e-cigarettes and vapes for collection.

PCC also collects:

• absorbent hygiene products (AHP), such as nappies and incontinence items, every two weeks in single-use purple sacks, from homes that subscribe to this free service;

• garden waste every two weeks between March and November, from a burgundy wheelie bin, from homes that subscribe to the chargeable service; and

• non-recyclable waste every three weeks. Residents may put out up to three single-use black sacks every three weeks.

The Council provides a bulky household waste collection service. To find out how much this service costs, or to book a collection, residents should visit the Council’s website.

The Council manages six Waste and Recycling Centres across the county. Residents must book an appointment before they visit a site.
