Most of the waste you produce at home can be recycled at the kerbside in the correct bag or bin. In Swansea collections are split into green and pink weeks with different bags and materials collected on a fortnightly basis. Food waste is collected every week.
It is vital that you take some time to familiarise yourself with the kerbside recycling service to manage your waste effectively and ensure it is collected without issue. If you sort waste materials incorrectly or place items out on the incorrect days or week your bags won’t get collected and you could receive a fixed penalty notice.
The council recycling team will deliver information packs and collection schedules to registered student households at the start of term. All the information you need on waste and recycling collections can also be found at www.swansea.gov.uk/getitsorted
