Published in News on Wednesday December 21st, 2011
Rubbish and recycling collection dates in Caerphilly County Borough over the Christmas and New Year period for 2011 are unchanged.
The council has told residents to put their refuse, recycling and green/food waste out for their usual collection date.
Wrapping paper (non-foil based) and small amounts of cardboard can be placed in recycling bins, larger amounts of cardboard can be taken to Civic Amenity Sites.
Civic Amenity Sites will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Normal opening times for all other days are 9am to 4.30pm.
Cllr Lyn Ackerman, cabinet member for public services said: “Caerphilly is one of the greenest local authorities in Wales thanks to the ongoing support of local residents. I would urge everyone to do their bit over the festive period to help make this the greenest Christmas yet.”
The council is also keen to remind people that old Christmas trees can be collected with their normal weekly green waste collection or taken to any of Caerphilly’s household waste recycling centres where they will be collected for composting. Residents should cut trees into one-metre lengths.
