Residents in Pencader are being urged to have a summer clear out.
A waste and tyre amnesty is being held in Ysgol Caer’r Felin on Tuesday, July 28 between 8am and 1pm.
Most household waste can be taken along including unwanted furniture, carpets and mattresses, electrical items such as fridge-freezers and televisions, as well as black and blue bags.
A maximum of four tyres can also be disposed of; however, tractor or lorry tyres will not be accepted.
Hazardous waste such as paint, fluorescent tubes, batteries, chemicals, gas bottles and asbestos will not be accepted along with glass, garden waste, trade waste, construction waste and agricultural waste.
Residents can pick up a free bag of Merlin’s Magic Compost (while stocks last) courtesy of CWM Environmental Ltd.
Half-price compost bins will also be on sale for just £6 instead of the usual £12.
Executive Board Member for Technical Services Cllr Hazel Evans said: “We have been holding the amnesties for a number of years and they have always proved to be very popular.
“The aim of the amnesties is to reduce fly-tipping, encourage people to recycle and help those residents who find it difficult to take their waste to a Household Waste Recycling Centre.
“We recycle as much as possible; which not only helps our recycling rate but also reduces the amount of rubbish going to landfill.”
Residents are advised to please bring proof of address.
