Ceredigion has announced plans for its waste collections in as scheduled in the weeks surrounding Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

With the effects of wintry weather, COVID-19, and seasonal illnesses upon us, it may be a challenging time to have all the resources we normally need to deliver the services, the council says.

Councillor Dafydd Edwards, Cabinet Member for Highways and Environmental Services, Housing and Customer Contact said: “As part of Caru Ceredigion, we really appreciate our residents’ ongoing support and understanding if, for whatever reason, services are disrupted.”

If for any reason we are unable to collect your waste, please re-present it on your next scheduled collection day. You can check updates on disruptions in your area at: www.ceredigion.gov.uk/resident/bins-recycling/recycling-bin-collection-dates/waste-disruptions/

It’s never been easier to recycle from around the home. Remember, clean foil, cardboard, paper and most types of plastic can all go in your clear recycling bag collected weekly.

Food waste such as vegetable peelings, turkey bones, plate scrapings, tea bags, coffee grinds, and any out of date food can be put in your food waste bin.

The Council can also help to recycle your real Christmas tree at the Household Waste Site or you can home compost it.

Household Waste Sites will be open as usual apart from Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
