Garden/Green Waste Recycling

Garden waste such as leaves, twigs, grass cuttings and hedge

trimmings can be recycled by placing the items into clear recycling

bags and placing the bags out for collection on your normal collection

day before 7am.

The Council is able to take fruit or vegetables from your garden, but due

to recent legislation, they cannot take any waste that comes from your

kitchen. These need to be placed in your Kitchen Caddy/Food Waste Bin –

details on this can be found earlier in this guide.

Please Note: This service is for the RESIDENTS of Rhondda Cynon

Taf not businesses such as landscape gardeners.

Home Composting

Residents have the opportunity to purchase home composting bins at a

subsidised rate of £10. The home composting bins come in two sizes –

220 litres or 330 litres.

Benefits of Garden Waste Recycling...

All the garden waste we collect is composted and the

compost we produce is used in our parks and allotments or

on land reclamation and landscaping schemes.
