Residents urged to have pre-Christmas clear out

Residents in the Kidwelly area are being urged to have a pre-Christmas clear out.
A waste and tyre amnesty is being held in the Co-op car park on Tuesday, December 15 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 the Environment Cllr Hazel Evans said: “I hope residents take advantage of this opportunity to have a clear out before Christmas and get rid of any unwanted items they may have around the home.
“The aim of the amnesty is to reduce fly-tipping and encourage people to recycle as much as possible reducing the amount of rubbish going to landfill.”
Residents are advised to please bring proof of address.
