Recycling service
Powys 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;
- glass bottles and jars every week, from an aqua box;
- metal cans, tins, aerosols and foil, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, and food and drink cartons (such as Tetra Pak), every week, from a red box with net cover; and
- cardboard and paper from a blue box with lid.
PCC also collects:
- garden waste every two weeks between March and November, from a wheelie bin or in compostable paper bags, if residents have registered for this chargeable service; and
- non-recyclable waste every three weeks, from a black wheelie bin or in single-use purple sacks.
