Collection Guide

• Put your sacks out on the kerbside by 7am on your collection day
• Please make sure that all plastic items in the bag have been cleaned and squashed
• Only include the items on the above list - including other items will result in your bag NOT being collected

 

You can use our Recycling & Rubbish Collection Search to find out what day your collections are made.

During weeks that include a public or bank holiday, collection days will be altered.  For information on this year's collection changes see Holiday Collections. 

 

What if I need more bags?

You will notice a RED STRIPE running down one of the pink bags.

This is to indicate to the crew that you need more bags, these will

automatically be delivered to you. You can also request additional

bags by phoning 01792 635600, email recycling@swansea.gov.uk or

 use the form on the council's website.

 

Please wash and squash plastic as much as you can and keep separate from any other recycling.
