RESIDENTS in Newcastle Emlyn are being urged to have a spring clean and clear out any unwanted rubbish they have around the home.
A waste and tyre amnesty is being held in the mart car park on Wednesday, April 27 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: “This is an excellent opportunity for householders to dispose of their waste; particularly if they have larger, bulky items to get rid of and they don’t have their own transport.
“We recycle as much as possible; helping to increase our recycling rate and reduce the amount of rubbish going to landfill.”
Residents are advised to please bring proof of address.
