Powys

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.

The Council provides a bulky waste 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.

The Council manages five Household Waste Recycling Centres in the county. Residents should visit the Council's website to check if they need to book an appointment before they visit a site.
