Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Ceredigion reported less rubbish and more recycling after limiting households to three 60-litre black bags every three weeks from June 2025. In an April 2026 update, the council said kerbside rubbish fell by over 540 tonnes, or 15%, in July–December 2025 compared with the same period a year earlier. Clear-bag recycling rose 8% and food waste 11%. The council reported no increase in dumped household rubbish bags or waste placed in street bins following the restrictions. Households needing more capacity can apply, and a separate collection continues for nappies and other absorbent hygiene products.
