AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
Denbighshire has announced a plastic bags and wrapping trial for around 4,500 selected homes, running from 14 September to 4 December 2026. Participants follow their leaflet, using either their own bags or supplied blue sacks. The council says it will assess the results before deciding on a permanent service.
Separately, an August 2026 council update acknowledged concerns about blue cardboard bags and promised a review of container options. Residents could request replacements for unusable bags or use a suitable alternative of similar size. The update planned scrutiny for September and decisions in the autumn.
