We offer a kerbside collection service; this means your bin must be presented with the lid closed at the kerbside of your property by 7am. The council has specialist street cleaning staff out working every day, but we need volunteers to tidy areas they can’t.” You can collect replacements for these from libraries, housing offices and recycling centres across Swansea. See full list below. Single-use pink plastic bags The way we collect recycling from flats is different from the way we collect from other households because most flats have communal bin store rooms or bin compounds. The plastics from each of these bags are collected by different vehicles and processed separately so it's important to only use the bags you have been given and instructed to oryour plastic may not be collected.

Even though these items can't be collected at kerbside, they may be able to be recycled at one of our recycling centres or somewhere else: Other places to recycle Soft plastic See how you can recycle more and stop excess waste going to landfill: www.castlepoint.gov.uk/recycleright

Please note that you shouldn't put soft plastic in your recycling bin, this should be placed in your refuse bin.* Some flats do not have a bin store, which makes is extremely difficult to provide bins, or an area for storage of bags. Each flat is provided with ahandy caddy and a free liners to keep in the kitchen. This can then be emptied into the communal food bin whenever you want. Individual food bin

If you have a bin that is damaged or you have a bin missing please, Request a replacement bin for your property. East Herts Council has an alternate refuse and recycling collection service. This means your refuse wheeled bin is collected fortnightly on your waste week with your recycling bin collected on the alternate week. Please ensure all bags are tied securely shut and try to keep the green bags separate from the pink bags.

In this case, residents can still recycle by using the recycling bags and putting them out onto the kerbside on the correct collection day. More of these bags are also available to collect from a number of shops and council outlets across Swansea. See full list below. Food bins and reusable pink bags
