The council’s recycling team will be in Ammanford town centre on Friday, July 31 to give information and advice.
Officers will be in Quay Street from 10am to 3pm to help residents with any recycling questions they may have.
They will have information leaflets as well as blue bags and replacement food bins for those that need them.
Residents are being encouraged to recycle from all around the home, not just in the kitchen. Most people regularly recycle items like plastic milk bottles and glass jars, but it’s just as easy to recycle many other items from the bathroom, living room and even the bedroom.
Empty aerosol cans, plastic coat hangers, toilet roll tubes, toothpaste boxes, shampoo/shower gel bottles, bottle tops, receipts and envelopes can all be recycled in your blue bag.
Executive Board Member for Technical Services Cllr Hazel Evans said: “If you have any recycling queries, please go along and speak to the officers when they are in Ammanford, they are there to help.
“We are doing really well and are now recycling around 60% of our rubbish, but with a 70% recycling target to achieve here in Wales, we need to do a little bit more by recycling those items that are sometimes forgotten.
“If we think a little further than the kitchen and recycle items from other rooms in the home I know we can really make a huge difference.”
