Rhondda Cynon Taf

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.

The Council provides a bulky 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.

There are six Community Recycling Centres in the county, which RCTCBC residents may use for free. Residents should visit the Council's website to check opening times, site rules, if they need a permit to attend in a large vehicle, and if they need to book an appointment before they visit a site.
