Recycling service
Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (RCTCBC) provides a weekly co-mingled collections service for recycling. This means it collects most 'dry' recyclable materials combined in a single container, that is, metals, plastics, cardboard and paper.
It collects:
- food waste every week, from a caddy using caddy liners provided by the Council for free; and
- dry recycling every week, in single-use clear sacks, for:
- glass bottles and jars,
- metal cans, tins, aerosols and foil,
- plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays,
- food and drink cartons such as Tetra Pak,
- cardboard, and
- paper.
RCTCBC also collects:
- nappies every week, in single-use purple sacks, if residents have registered for this free service;
- garden waste every week between March and November (then on request between December and February), from reusable bags, if residents have registered for this free service; and
- non-recyclable waste every three weeks, from a green wheelie bin or in single-use black sacks.
