BLUE REUSABLE SACK

Why we can't collect unwanted materialsThe Council is unable to collect plastic bags, including bread bags and frozen food bags, crisp packets and film type plastic. These types of materials, if placed in your recycling container, reduce the quality of accepted materials. If you have plastic wrappers or bags that you cannot avoid, please put these in your wheelie bin.

There is a 5p charge on all carrier bags so save yourself money and use reusable bags. Some supermarkets offer take back schemes for unwanted carrier bags.

* Use your wheelie bin ** Take to Household Waste Recycling Centre

How to get additional containersIf your blue recycling sack is very full on collection day you can request an additional sack. This will also help avoid spillages of the contents due to it being overfull.

Additional recycling boxes can also be requested if needed.

Please ensure that you put the correct materials in the correct containers. Please do not put glass bottles and jars into your blue re-usable sack as this can cause problems when recycling crews collect.

Sach Las Amldro

Pam na allwn gasglu popethNi all y Cyngor gasglu bagiau plastig yn cynnwys bagiau bara a bwyd wedi rhewi, pecynnau creision a phlastig ffilm. Mae’r mathau hyn o blastig yn gostwng ansawdd y deunydd derbyniadwy os yw popeth yn cael ei gymysgu. Os oes plastig lapio neu fagiau plastig gennych, rhowch nhw yn y bin olwynion.

Codir tâl o 5c ar fagiau felly arbedwch arian a’u hailddefnyddio. Mae rhai archfarchnadoedd yn cynnig cynllun derbyn hen fagiau siopa yn ôl.

*Defnyddiwch eich bin olwynion**Ewch ag e i’r Ganolfan Ailgylchu Gwastraff y Cartref

Sut i gael rhagor o gynwysyddionOs yw eich sach ailgylchu’n llawn iawn ar y diwrnod casglu gallwch ofyn am sach arall. Bydd hyn yn helpu i osgoi gollyngi-adau o’r cynnwys yn sgil gorlenwi.

Gellir gofyn am flychau ailgylchu ychwanegol os oes angen.

Sicrhewch eich bod yn rhoi’r deunyddiau cywir yn y cynwysyddion cywir.Peidiwch â rhoi poteli a jariau gwydr yn eich sach las amldro gan y gallai hynny achosi problemau pan fo’r criw ailgylchu’n casglu.
