LLANSAWEL AND TUMBLE RESIDENTS URGED TO HAVE CLEAR OUT

Here’s a great excuse to finally have a good old clear out and get rid of those unsightly large items of rubbish for free.

A ‘waste amnesty’ is being held in Llansawel and Tumble village car parks between 08:00 – 10:30 on Saturday 28th January. It’s a great opportunity to take along bulky waste items such as furniture and electrical goods. However, asbestos, tyres, paint, garden chemicals, batteries, gas bottles, construction waste and trade waste will not be accepted.

The aim is to encourage residents to dispose of waste that may otherwise be fly-tipped as well as encourage you to recycle and/or reuse as much of their rubbish as possible.

The event has been organised by Carmarthenshire County Council and is being supported and funded by Tidy Towns.

Executive Board Member for Regeneration Cllr Clive Scourfield said: “I hope residents take advantage of this opportunity to dispose of any household rubbish they may have.

“Bulky waste such as furniture, wood and cardboard left lying in and around homes is a fire hazard and can result in fly-tipping, which is not only a nuisance and unattractive, but is also harmful to the environment and potentially dangerous.

“By working together, we can tackle the problem of fly-tipping and improve the quality our environment.”
